26 Gentlemen:
27
28 I would like to take this opportunity to express my
29 appreciation to you, the._representatives of the City of
30 Richmond, for allowing me to work in a job for the last

32 satisfaction. The Richmond Fire Department is very close
11/ 33 to my heart, and that of my family, so leaving is not. some-
34 thing that is done with ease. The decision was made after
35 much careful consideration and thought. However, I feel

37 opportunities and challenges.

46 . mayors that I served with, and last but not least, Don
