We haven't spoken in a=while and I hope that you have been well. 9 EFTA_R1_01639200 EFTA02508237 I just left you a voicemail regarding the audit of B=n's 2012 Gift Tax Return. Attached is a proposed response to=Michael Shenker's most recent request for information. As yo= know, our reply is due by January 15th. Alan and I prepared the attached letter for your signature=(that is, if you approve of it, of course). As you can see, the prop=sed reply is as brief as possible while still being responsive to Mr. Shenker's requests. Given the comple= series of steps involved in the issuance of the $5.12 million note, Alan =nd I are pretty certain Shenker will have additional questions and ask for=additional documents. I just wanted to be sure that you were familiar with all the background. I am available =his week (but out of the country all next week), should you wish to discus= or to have me make changes to the letter. In my absence, please spe=k with Alan. Rich J. is getting Ben to sign the IRS power of atto=ney in favor of you and Alan. I assume you will need to send that with the attached letter, so I h=ve referenced it therein. Please follow up with Rich to obtain=he 2848. Thanks!
