Rather than reject this question I want you to resubmit it after you calm down. Your righting style seems to indicate that you are stressed out about this problem.

You need to follow some basic rules of English.

1) Write in sentences and paragraphs. It doesn't have to be perfect even a little white space helps the lawyer figure out what's going on.

2) Google has an add on spell checker for Internet Explorer. I use it so I don't look stupid. Hey I went to law school I should know how to spell.

3) Even if you spell check. Read you post aloud. You catch more grammatical errors that way. Also make sure you use the right word. Just cause its spelled correctly doesn't mean its what you meant to say.

For example this post reads as though it was written to be read some one where the paid extra for aver period and space.

Next its unclear what you need. Legal help or help writing a letter?

So slow down. The lawyers here would not be here if we did not want to answer questions. So take some time and re do your post. You get a better answer faster that way.
