Dear Ms. Cieslar:
On June 3, 2015, you informed SAMOCO’s counsel that the estimated cost for
preparation of the rcporter’s record in the above-referenced case would likely he between
$8,000 and $9,000, and you requested a deposit of half that amount. Attached is a firm
check for $5,000, which more than covers the requested deposit. Once you have the
exact total, please let me know that amount, and SAMOCO will remit the remaining
payment.
Very truly yours,
