How exciting and encouraging to read about Mr Gore’s achievements. However, I do not think that he would be proud of what is happening to the man in the street who has taken cover with Discovery Insurance. I believe that his employees, whether ho knows them or not are building his empire at the expense of the poor man in the street. Mistakes are made by his employees and the consequences thereof become the problem of the insured client. The client may call telephonically and send emails to staff a hundred times and will be ignored completely if correcting the mistake will mean reduced income for Discovery. That is how your employees are helping to build your Empire Mr Gore.
I am not sure whether this statement will ever reach your ears, but I am hoping that it will, and make you stand up and at what and how your employees, in creating your wealth are treating the very same people who are the little grains of sand that are mixed with the cement to build your empire.
I will continue to fight for my rights, though I am being ignored. The employees are hoping that I will soon get tired and stop demanding what belongs to me.
