Dear Mr.Thomson,

I have opened a file on our new client, Mr. Hendricks. The file

contains the intake memo, fee agreement and retainer

agreement. Please sign these. I need to mail them to Mr.

Hendricks directly, along with our standard form letter.

I am also sending a demand package and copies of all the

c orrespondence so far. I have opened a pre- litigation folder and made up an agenda. This is to ensure we have everything we need on time, including medical records and the police report.

Thank you,

Janine
