To Our Existing Clients,
On behalf of the Z Group, I want to begin by thanking you for entrusting your business with us. Whether you are a design client, branding client or an aspiring author, it is our pleasure to be doing business with you. I wish I could be writing this letter in a time of joy, but sadly I am not. I am writing to apologize for any discomfort and uneasiness your may feel or have felt as a result of recent emails asking you about our publishing deivision policies as well as your personal finances, in addition to any future attacks on us.
It has come to our attention that you have received such emails and for that I apologize. Recently, we have become the center of a smear campaign because an individual and his entourage has decided that they do not like or understand our business model and so has decided to attack it by trying to find evidence against us or create some false evidency as per this statement received on the web and through our email, “You’ll see what I work up and post on you pretty soon. Here is one thing to think about: from now on ANYBODY you get submitting a book to your company could very well be somebody I’ve sent there as part of my investigation.
So if you tell ANY author they have to pay to get published, it could end coming right back in your face, in public. Like on “Writer Beware” sites and such.So you’re going to be in the position of trying to run a vanity press while denying it, but anybody you get submitting could be a big booby trap for your expose. Tough one to handle. I’ve gotten a couple of other writers involved with this as well. (They also don’t like jackals that prey on writers and lie about it and are happy to help, as I’ve helped them with investigations in the past)You claim to be a publisher but you’re a vanity press that screams that they aren’t…the WORST situation.Meanwhile, you keep saying your not a vanity press and you have real authors, but it’s pretty obvious that you’ve got to be lying.
Try to sue me. I don’t even live in the US. And,I’ve been an investigator for years. I’ve done campaigns that toppled corrupt politicians in LATIN AMERICA for criisakes. I know how to write a story without leaving myself legally vulnerable.Yours isn’t even tricky, you’ve trapped yourself into so many lies nobody has to do anything but quote you and post links. Ya dummy…

This individual has never done business with us or submitted anything to us as per his statement, “Of course I haven’t done business with you or submitted to you. I’m not stupid.” Yet, he is upset because we won’t give him any information as to how we do business, or why we do business the way we have and as a result of this you have been contacted. Our website has been used as a means of attack instead of as a marketing tool for you. As a result, we have had to change the way you are seen and contacted, and for this I apologize. It is a sad day in the world of publishing, when your website which should be a means to get sales and bring attention to you, is instead, used to contact you and harass you.
As a client, I know that this is not something you want to deal with and I apologize that you have too. I understand from communication with you that you will continue to do business with us and we have your full support. Thank You! We are about to endure a very trying time and as we fight against any false accusations, made up clients, etc. Thank you for your patience and your support. It is because of you that we will get past this and become stronger.
Yours in Business,
Lishone’ Bowsky
CEO of The Z Group
