Despite repeated demands for the aforesaid amount (attached Annexes F and G are Demand Letters dated November 28 and December 15, 2013) defendant unreasonably refuse to settle the same to the damage and prejudice of the plaintiff 10. Worse, defendant has made it appear that the aforesaid projects are still incomplete despite the fact that even its officers have certified to their completion and the same being utilized by moving vehicles as well as the residents of the area; 11.
