I am part of an organization. A member of this organization has, for some unknown reason, started his personal campaign against me. The latest situation...

His wife had a briefcase she left inside my automobile. When I moved the briefcase, money fell out which belonged to the organization. I picked up the money and placed it in the inside pocket of my coat. Later, when the briefcase was returned, the money was found to be missing. Before I was contacted about the money, I picked up my coat and the money fell out of the pocket. I immediately called the President of the organization, explaining the situation. I offered to take the money to the President or to the person who had custody of the money. I was told not to worry about it and to wait.

The next day, the husband of the woman sent out an e-mail to the officers of the group stating I had stolen the money and should not be allowed to be around any money. He further stated that I should have my membership revoked.

This is the last attempt, of many, by this man to discredit me with the organization. He sent his e-mail to all of the officers of the sister organization, which he is a member of, including a national officer. But, he did not send his e-mail to any member of the organization I am a member.

In his e-mail he tried to state facts which were not true. I responded to his e-mail, copying in all those he had e-mailed, with the correct facts. I stated the money had fallen out of the briefcase when I moved it. I stated I had placed the money in a pocket of my coat and forgot it. I stated I immediately called the President of the organization when I found the money, which was prior to anyone contacting me.

I admitted to errors in allowing the briefcase to be left inside my automobile. I admitted to errors in not taking greater care with the money, which was not mine, but also that I had forgot about the money.

In the e-mail, this person has called me a theif and stated that I should not be allowed any access to money in the future.

There was no money missing, all money was returned to the organization when it was discovered, but the e-mail continues. Do I have a case against this person?

What damages have you suffered due to these e-mails? Have you been fired from your job? Has your membership in the organization been revoked? Has your right to carry the organization's money been taken away?

As for my membership, at this point my membership has not been revoked. As for handling money, the situation to handle money has not come up since this has happened. However, I have been told by others that they feel due to the comments which have been made it would be advisable I not handle any money in the future. As this is a very recent event, not much else has happened at this point.
