Dear Ms. Gilmore:
I am in receipt of your correspondence dated November 2, 1994 regarding a letter

for your reference. Please note that it references an appeal filed by Howard & Howard on

whether there is an appeal which has been filed as referenced in the correspondence. I will
await your response, so that I may respond appropriately to Howard & Howard.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Appeal of Lansing City Income Tax Refund Claim Denial
Dated November 19, 1993
Dear Mr. Spenny:
On December 17, 1993, our office filed an appeal of the determination of City Income
Tax Administrator James Goodin concerning the above-referenced matter. I am writing to ask
that you acknowledge receipt of our appeal simply because it has been some time since our
appeal was lodged and we have at yet not received any response to our appeal. I am completely
understanding of the staffing situation within many of the -City departments and wish to
emphasize to you that I am not pressing for expedited treatment of this matter. The purpose for
my writing is merely to request an acknowledgement of the pendency of our appeal.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

To Whom It May Concern:
I want to inform you that i am no longer a resident of the City of Lansing. As such,
don't believe I can serve on the Board of Review for City Income Tax.
I am returning the letter you forwarded to me the other day, so that you can pass it on
to the current responsible party.
It has been a pleasure to serve the City of Lansing on this board for so many years. I
will miss the interaction with all of the fine city officials that I was involved with.
Win "rely,
