Will Mr Blair listen this time?
I wrote to Tony Blair on 30th March(*). The letter is published here. So far, Tony Blair has not been man enough to send me a reply. I do not know about you, but to me, that is not the behaviour of a man who should be leading this great country with courage and integrity. I am beginning to wonder if Mr. Blair is not just discourteous but worried that my campaign to expose the murder of my beloved son Dodi and Diana, Princess of Wales, will also reveal the part played in their deaths by his Government. When the British Ambassador in Paris gave orders for Diana’s body to be embalmed, he wilfully destroyed medical evidence not least that of her pregnancy. Such embalming was against French law. The Ambassador could not have done this without receiving orders which could only have come from the British Security Services, the Royal family in the person of the Duke of Edinburgh or from the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw. Perhaps Blair himself was personally involved. As the Prime Minister, he must take responsibility for what happened. Perhaps that is why he refuses to give a proper answer to the points I raise. These are questions that will not go away, Mr Blair, no matter how many times you try to duck them.
If you agree why don’t you get in touch with No.10 Downing Street to say that you, too, want the Prime Minister to come clean about the most outrageous crime of the 20th century?

Dear Mr Blair,
I received on 28 February 2006 a letter from E. Adams, apparently sent on your behalf, thanking me for my letters to you of 14 and 21 February. I had assumed that the letter was merely an acknowledgement and that in due course I would receive the courtesy of a substantive reply from you. A month has since passed so I must neccessarily assume that the letter from the faceless 'E. Adams' (whether male or female) constitutes the full extent of your reply and of the action which I can hope to receive from you.
In 1997 when you first came to power, it was on the back of the electorate's disillusionment with a Tory government riddled with sleaze. It was my fearlessness and determination which exposed it and bought it to the forefront of public attention. You have never acknowledged the part that I played in bringing you to office. That is disappointing, but not particularly surprising from a politician. It is, however, doubly disappointing that, not only are you unwilling to admit or accept the role I played, you are not even apparently willing to help expose those responsible for the horrendous crime committed in Paris in the very year you became Prime Minister.
Perhaps I should expect nothing else. Your own government is now mired in sleaze. History has a habit of repeating itself. Your own government, and your role in history, faces the same ending as that of the last Tory government.
But even now, it is too late for you to show the moral fibre and the determination to help expose the truth about the crash in which my son and Princess Diana were killed. That is what the British public expect and deserve. I deserve nothing less as does the memory of my beloved son. The 'People's Princess' most certainly deserves it.
I was there in Westminster Abbey when you read the lesson, most movingly, at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. You were either as deeply affected as the rest of us, or you were acting. I would prefer to believe that you were utterly sincere in your grief. It was you who spoke about the 'People's Princess', albeit that Mr Campbell may have coined the phrase for you. That doesn't matter now. What matters is that you are true to your words, and like a man do the only thing now that you can do for the Princess and my son Dodi: find the truth and disclose it, though the heavens fall.
We are both fathers. You must be able to relate to the grief I bear, and my undying and unquenchable determination to achieve justice.
You alone have the authority to compel the Intelligence and Security Committee to comply with my demands. Lord Stevens will no doubt have attempted to access security service files but I am not so naive as to believe they would be made available to him.
I enclose a copy of a further letter I have sent today to Mr Murphy. If my further pleas to you both continue to fall on deaf ears and hard hearts, I will simply continue the battle elsewhere with the continuing support of the overwhelming majority of the British people. I hope this time I can look forward to receiving from you something more positive and worthy of you than a curt acknowledgement from your administrative office, although possibly that was your way of simply saying 'get lost'.
Do not believe that by ignoring me these matters will go away. You should be aware of my determination and resolve.
Yours sincerely,
M. Al Fayed
