Dear Mr. Thrasher:

Direct Dial Telephone #954 -570 -3505
Reference is made to the captioned Request which was submitted to the Town of Gulf Stream on
October 2, 2014. A copy of the Request is attached for convenience.
It is the Requestor's belief that the Town of Gulf Stream is purposely delaying the fulfilling of the
Request.
It is implausible that the fulfilling of this Request is taking this long.
I write you this letter to alert you that if the captioned Request is not fulfilled by the close of
business on Friday, October 24, 2014 (the "Deadline "), that the Requestor will, with great
reticence, institute suit.
Of course, if you cannot accommodate the Deadline and you alert us at least 24 hours before the
Deadline, articulating a bona fide reason for not being able to accommodate the Deadline, the
Requestor will consider extending the Deadline to a reasonable date considering the
circumstances, which circumstances would have to be reasonable in themselves.
Sincerely yours,
COMMERCE GROUP, INC..
