Dear Chris Titan,

Firstly, I must make it abundantly clear that Mr. Sampson is a trusted member of Neurocam International’s upper management. That does not, however, mean that he is completely beyond reproach.

To paraphrase a well known saying – “The price of security is eternal vigilance.”

I appreciate your concern regarding this matter and am impressed by your decision to raise this issue with me before engaging in practices which may prove detrimental to Neurocam International’s reputation.

I have no intention of prohibiting you from commenting, upon your web journal or those of other Neurocam operatives, on Mr. Sampson’s correspondence with Mr. Pritchard.

I would, however, remind you that you are current engaged by the organization and so should continue to bring matters, which may bring the organization into disrepute, to my attention and, furthermore, that you should continue to display a modicum of discretion before making such matters public.

I trust this correspondence satisfactorily addresses your concerns, but, in the event that you require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.

Regards,
Gertrude Zelle
Head, Human Resources Security Division (ACTING)
Neurocam International

Mata Hari’s body was not claimed by any family members and was accordingly used for medical study. Her head was embalmed and kept in the Museum of Anatomy in Paris, but in 2000, archivists discovered that the head had disappeared, possibly as early as 1954, when the museum had been relocated. Records dated from 1918 show that the museum also received the rest of the body, but none of the remains could later be accounted for.

The fact that a former exotic dancer had been executed as a spy immediately provoked many unsubstantiated rumours. One is that she blew a kiss to her executioners, although it is possible that she blew a kiss to her lawyer, who was a witness to the execution and a former lover of hers. Her dying words were purported to be “Merci, monsieur”.
