I love tha "letter". We all know who that maid of her is.
Terminate that contract fast, I say.
If there are still tinge of nostalgia, offer her a part-time contract !
But start getting others from the other 'agencies". There are gems galore out there ! And they, strangely enough are willing to "work for you ".
Understand the dateline for the contract renewal is 7th May.

"As Govt grows, its increased power to grant favors or inflict pain attracts more people who would abuse the system."
"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his own Govt."

So relevant to our own country, Singapore, especially at this GE.
We look at the crystal ball, and dread to see the same style of governance for another five years,
more vindictive measures unleashed upon the electorate in the form of relaxing the foreigner floodgate, another increase of GST to 10%, will happen when the gamble by the opposition Parties come to zero, and we have no more opposition in Parliament, leaving the field for the incumbent Party to run wild like lunatics.
