Received today...
I'm going to quote a couple of portions....
The contract expired. I told AGENCY that I would not renew and they agreed, based on the client's reputation versus mine. I did not agree to any extension or sign any paperwork. They made no such arrangement with the agency.
All property (1x keyfob!) has been returned and the NDA adhered to! Is this even remotely acceptable?
Bear in mind, the legal rep and one of the directors of the company turned up on my door step to intimidate me into renewing a couple of weeks back.
This is the dark side of contracting - the crappy client!

Yesterday, we arranged with AGENCY, on a without prejudice basis, reserving all our rights, that you would return to work out a 2 week notice period, commencing today. This would have assisted us to minimise the losses and damage we have sustained as a result of your acts and omissions. You have failed to turn up today for work.
Breaching NDAs is a very serious matter. Using the Intellectual Property belonging to XXXXXX is a criminal offence. I am prepared to give you a final opportunity to comply with the requests set out in the letter dated 18 October 2006, and repeated above: I would ask that you do so by close of business on Friday 27 October 2006. Should you not do so, you leave us no option but to draw adverse inferences from your conduct with respect to your misuse of our property, and we will take all necessary steps to protect our company, its property and its business operations. We will also notify all IT Recruitment Firms that you cannot be trusted to comply with an NDA.
