That should take you but a few moments. Please provide the results. 2.Please confirm that Mr. Morgan has provided you the requested records to the extent that they exist from other than the Town’s records. If not, let me know when you expect that he will be providing them. 3.Please confirm that you will be providing a “log” of any documents that are being withheld. UNFORTUNATELY, I RECEIVE TOO MANY EMAILS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE RESULT IS THAT I DO NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO REVIEW THEM ALL; AND MANY I DO NOT SEE AT ALL. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE TO SEND ME EMAILS; AND, IF YOU DON’T HEAR FROM ME WITHIN 48 HOURS, I URGE YOU TO CALL ME. I ALSO ASK YOU TO CC MS. BRENDA RUSSELL (BRUSSELL@COMMERCE-GROUP.COM) OR TO CALL HER (954 570 3513). THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. Martin E. O'Boyle, Commerce Group, Inc. 1280 W.
