To: Matt
Re: Cynthia expenses
Dear Matt,
As of September 1st. 2009, the following items will still be paid by me.
a) Mortgage on property: 1913 Kelving Way Court, Wharton Texas 77 48B.
(This payment will be applied each month directly from my bank account at
Prosperity Bank. Wharton Texas).
b) All charges concerning or related to utilities; (gas, water and electricity).
c) Any and all repairs pertaining to the actoal structure of the building;
(including: roof, floors, wails, built in appliances such as refrigerators,
freezers, air conditioners, heaters, as well as plumbing and electrical work).
d) Comprehensive health insurance for Cynthia Sinatra, Brittany Brink, and
Victoria Brink. This does not include deductibles incurred at time of c\aim(s).
eJ Requirements for tuitions, books, and 'other similar expenses necessary for
the continuing college education of both girls.
f) The sum of $1,000.00 per month to each girl for assistance in their living
expenses while in school. It Is my considered opinion that when out of school
both girls are of age and capability to secure gainful employment.
g) The sum of $2,800.00 per month to Cynthia as prOvided in the Citi Bank
credit card that has an account number different than my own, and is written
in her name.
h) As of this writing, I am not aware of any other liabilities that I have found
necessary to pay on behalf of Cynthia or the girls, however I will make
additions or subtractions to the above list, as required if and when they
occur.
Also as of this date, there will be no furtller contributions of supplemental monies
by my credit card, as there have been in the past, to assist in the payment of
Cynthia's other expenses. I have discussed this situation with her and she assures
me that she will be making at least enough income to cover these expenses, which
are in reality, a lesser figure each month than the contributions I make. The only
exceptions to the above mentioned "contributions of supplemental monies" would
be provided in cases of emergencies. The determination of these exceptions will be
made by me alone, if and when an emergency situation arises. At such a time, I will
instruct the office to issue the necessary funds.
This policy begins as previously stated, September 1". 2009

Matt,
Please consider the following information enclosed as page 2 to be added to
my memo to you of August 26"'.
a) Membership and expenses at the Wharton Country Club are in fact my
expenses which are used by Cynthia who is a vice president of the
organization. [will continue to pay the charges incurred there as long
as they do not get out of hand, at which time I will either settle this
with Cynthia, or cancel the membership all together. The decision will
be mine.
b) Cynthia and both girls will continue to receive the use of Mobile Exxon
as long as they do not exceed $200.00 per month, as Randy and I have
previously agreed.
c) As I believe I had mentioned earlier, any medical expenses of an
emergency nature will be met by me for the health of Cynthia and the
girls. Any other medical charges of a non-emergency nature will have
to be absorbed by them.
d) Any and all travel expenditures will have to be mutually agreed upon
by Cynthia and myself. As to the girls, I am hoping that within reason,
they will now call upon their father for assistance for such
requirements.
e) Prescriptions and other like items will also be mutually agreed upon
by Cynthia, the girls, and myself.
f) Replacement of necessary appliances in Cynthia's home will be paid
for by me, in view of the decision recently made by Cynthia that she
intends to sell her current large home, and seek residence in a smaller
one. (keeping the house up to date and repair will increase its value).
g) As far as publishers and leagues of women voters, I have no
knowledge of current activities that Cynthia may have with such
interests. In the future, we will address them as they arrive.
From time to time, other items for consideration will come up. Those things which
are not now addressed in this collective memo will have to be dealt with if and when
they appear. There are financial issues that may come to pass in the coming months
and years. We will consider them one by one. Be advised that this list is subject to
change at any time if I should deem such change to be necessary. I am taking every
possible step to stop this on going financial hemorrhaging.

Deal' Francis,
I know that Jackson Hole is one of the most beautiful places on this earth. I have
been there many times and had hoped that you would include me in special
trips, such as this. I am glad that you enjoyed the trip and had the opportunity
to inhale the Grand Tetons with your friends.
Yes, I am disappointed in our relationship. I am excluded from the important
moments in your life. I was hoping that by now you would have realized that I
am an asset to you and your organization and not a liability.
Please note that for months, I have had no credit on my credit card. I checked
today. I have not used it. I have not other income, and you have promised that I
would have $2800 credit each month for prescriptions and food. Please assure
that by tomorrow, September 1, 2009, that I have the $2800 allotment. I am going
to pay my electricity, water, prescriptions and food with that amOW1t.
Thank you for promptly calling Matt and seeing tl1at tlus is taken care of.
Always,
