Dear All
My additions would be a suite of movies of John Grisham novels,eg
The Firm (lots of lovely photocopying of documents in the Caribbean
that nails the baddies for money laundering)
The Rainmaker (aside from the 'Stupid, Stupid, Stupid' letter, there is
the missing annex from the claim handling file that requires the
denying of all insurance claims; as I side note, I think my insurers
must have it!)
The Pelican Brief (the dangers of allowing documents to fall into the
hands of public officials)
I look forward to the compilation.
Best wishes
Robert
