The daughter of the latest abduction victim in Bulgaria has made an attempt to get in touch with the kidnappers trough the media.
Irina Sotirova, daughter of the missing businessman, Vene Sotirov, has written a letter titled "Nothing Personal Boys."
In the letter Sotirova explains that her father is very ill and suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure and pleas to the perpetrators to at least provide him with the medications he needs.
Sotirova goes on to tell the abductors that her father, who is currently retired, is rather a prominent manager, but not a wealthy businessman and has never been one, adding he does not own a company and for a long time has been the director of a cooperative business with 400 members.
The daughter says her father retired in March with a monthly salary of BGN 1,779 and that she had replaced him at his post and is paid BGN 1,440 for being the current manager of the "Murgash-COOP."
The letter informs about the company's efforts to remodel old, deteriorating grocery stores in villages near Sofia and turn them into modern little shops and about the loans it owes to banks for the remodeling, underlining several times that the family does not own the stores.
"Similarly to all COOP managers in Bulgaria we do not possess anything on our own. Nothing, except our bare salary, our nice clothes and our big names. We do not have anything personal, boys," the letter reads.
