I would like to help you all understand about a burn injury. Someone like Ho Tu Tu will suffer and need medical help for many years to come. From what we can see in the pictures and the reports from the doctor in charge from the National Institute of Burns in Ha Noi, Viet Nam, Ho Tu Tu is very lucky to be alive. She needs extensive medical treatment during her stay in the USA. Tu Tu will also need a great deal of medical treatment when she returns to Viet Nam. BSTTW is already planning with the fact that Ho Tu Tu may need future surgeries and medical treatment in Viet Nam and Tu Tu may need to return to the USA in the future for surgeries and rehabilitation. That is why BSTTW has the BSTTW Ho Tu Tu Fund.

 

We all know this. Very good commercial.

 

BSTTW can tell you that we were the organization that was contacted and asked to help Tu Tu. BSTTW was the organization that after receiving and reviewing all the medical information, applications, pictures and letters from the parents and doctors that we would help to bring Ho Tu Tu to the USA. BSTTW is the organization that sent our all the information needed to 12 different children's hospitals around the USA. Dr. Judy Ladinsky contacted BSTTW after reading all the information and seeing the pictures of Tu Tu. Dr. Ladinsky and Michael Appleman began working together from that time on. Again we cannot discuss this any further due to the advice of legal counsel.

 

Maybe 50% true. According to Dr. Ladinsky and Sister Tinh Quang, it's not like what you stated at the end.

 

A very important thing that Mr. Minh and TLBT does not understand is the extensive work that Tu Tu needs and what Ho Tu Tu's future will be like medically and psychologically as a child, a teenager and an adult. I am not only a burn survivor but I have a M.S. Degree in Counseling Psychology. I personally know and have offered support to many burn survivors who suffered a burn injury as a child. Many of them had 20-30 surgeries before they were 18 years of age. They went through a lot of pain, emotional agony and difficulties with other children and teenagers due to the burn scars.

 

One thing I know is that when you said something, you have to do what you said. And don't use your M.S. Degree in Counseling Psychology to fool people. Please remember that we are on internet and people don't know each other. One can say anything he wants. Can I say I have a PhD degree? Or let me blow it up really good: 3 PhD degrees? How that sounds? How do we know what degree you have? If you do, it's good for you. A MS or PhD degree will not make you a good or bad person. It's your heart, your characters make you a good or bad one. People with higher degree will be more dangerous when he turns bad than people with no degree (let's say a farmer). The target of $35,000 USD was set by you, not by me or TLBT, and we've reached it, you should NOT ask people for more. What was your reason to do that?

 

Instead of thanking and respecting BSTTW for all the work we have done and will continue to do for Ho Tu Tu, Mr. Minh and TLBT can only yell, scream and try their hardest to blame others for their own mistakes. 

 

I trusted and respected you, that was why I decided to help Tu Tu. I didn't yell or scream, you did. I didn't make mistakes, you did. So don't blame me anything. Be responsible.

 

BSTTW was informed by many of the Vietnamese and American people to not get involved with TLBT. BSTTW thought that TLBT would be honest and be a team player. Due to many legal issues, BSTTW has removed TLBT from the BSTTW Ho Tu Tu Program.  BSTTW is willing to state that the only mistake we ever made was getting involved with Mr. Minh and TLBT. That mistake is a learning experience and BSTTW will continue to help Tu Tu and the Vietnamese people. We cannot get into much of the areas touched by TLBT due to the advise of legal counsel.

 

Very funny statement. When was "BSTTW was informed by many of the Vietnamese and American people to not get involved with TLBT" ? Just today after your cover was blown ? If you was informed, why you needed us ? I don't care if you remove TLBT from your program or not.

 

Tu Tu is not the only burn victim in Viet Nam that we have helped. Currently BSTTW has been given the ok from the Ministry of Health in Viet Nam to work with the National Institute of Burns. BSTTW is working on donating medical supplies, medications, medical equipment in order to help the Vietnamese people who suffer burn injuries.

 

I am not in Vietnam so I don't know what you stated are true or not. However, I doubt your last sentence though. Are you the same Michael who asked me and TLBT to help you raise another $18,000 USD for one drug testing project? Or I got old and mistook you with someone else? I still have that email of you. Do you want me to release that email ?

 

Mr. Minh as BSTTW's CEO, I advise you to speak to an attorney before you release any other information to the public in any way or form. 

 

Are you using your CEO title to threaten me? I don't work for BSTTW, so I don't care if you're a CEO or CFO. Oh, by the way, I read one letter from BSTTW and noticed that Michael Appleman is President/CEO and also Treasurer/CFO of the BSTTW organization. Is it strange that you could be President/CEO (Chief of Executive Officer) and also Treasurer/CFO (Chief of Finance Officer) ? I thought they MUST be two different persons for audit check. Can I move to FL and work for you so that someday I could be both President/CEO and Treasurer/CFO ? I like BIG titles. Please, please, please!!! And who is the Vice President? Your wife? You're good... Let's take a look at your logo then.

 

 

So, according to your logo, you (Michael Appleman) are President/CEO and also Treasurer/CFO of your BSTTW. Does it mean that you could make decision, you could spend money any way you want and no one could object you? Your wife, Nguyen Thi Dieu Tran, is Vice President. I guess your wife would not want to object you unless you two have a fight. Your Secretary/COO, Nguyen Cong Thien, is your nephew-in-law. Wow! I started to like your organization! Can I work for you? I like your organization's chart even though I've NEVER seen anything like that before.

 

Lastly, are you telling me that I will be sued for FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Please remember that I live in America, I can say whatever I want. I can even criticize the President of the USA if I want. Unless the one who had provided me information requested me not to, I can release any information I have if I want to. I don't need to consult an attorney for FREEDOM OF SPEECH. You make me so scared !!! Please save that for yourself because you might need one when the words spread about you and when people ask IRS or FBI to check on you.

 

If you don't like my opinions, don't mention my name next time in your commercial. Take care.

 

Ngoc Quang Minh

 

Sincerely,

Michael Appleman
