Dear Ms. Supron,
Thank you for your interest in our Cable TV Franchise Agreement review service. I've enclosed the two
types of forms we would need to have completed in order to begin our review. First, there is a copy of
our Consulting Agreement which explains what we do and how we get paid. As you know, if we don't
produce a refund for you - there is no charge for the service. Also included in this package is the Letter
of Authority we use to get information directly from Time Warner.
In order to begin the process we would need the following items returned to us:
-the signed Consulting Agreement- make a copy for your records.
- the completed Letter of Authority for Time Warner. Please copy the letter of authority
onto your letterhead before signing and dating it.
- return the original Consulting Agreement and the completed Letter of Authority (on
your letterhead) to us at the address listed above.
- in order to complete our review, we'll also need a copy of your current Cable TV
franchise agreement.
We've designed our service to take up as little of your time as possible. After reviewing the enclosed
information, please call me with any questions you have. Otherwise, as soon as we receive the above
information we will begin our review. Thanks again for your time and interest.
Sincerely,
AcWaCgatoF�
