Ben, 

 
This is my third attempt to get an update on the status of the Title Opinion letter. Please understand 
that we are not be able to sign legal agreements until this document is received and reviewed by our 
legal counsel. We cannot disburse any funds until legal agreements are signed. As I am sure you are 
aware, obtaining a check overnight is next to impossible. If NURFC anticipates receiving a check in an 
expedited manner, this outstanding title of opinion letter issue must be resolved immediately. 
 
Please call with questions or concerns, I am here to assist. 
 
Thank you, 
Amy

Ben, 
As you may recall we will require a title of opinion letter on your attorney’s letterhead confirming clean 
title to the building.  (In the past there were some issues with mechanics liens) Amy will forward you a 
copy of the opinion of title template however, until then I would like your confirm that title is clean.  I 
suppose the banks removed all of their liens. 
Please respond. 
Thanks,
