[The letter from Jay Kay was sent to CAICA from a former WWASPS parent.]
Jay Kay, Director of Tranquility Bay in Jamaica, said:"In order to alleviate any more rumors we felt it was time to notify everyone what is happening with Tranquility Bay. We have had a great 10 years and our staff has been tremendous. We could not have accomplished anything without your support and dedication ..." (Scroll down for Jay Kay's letter).

"We could be leading these kids to long-term problems that we don't have a clue about because we're not going about it in the proper way.
