Dear Mayor Franklin:

The Court of Appeals of Georgia is celebrating its 100th year. The Court will hold a Centennial Dinner (to which you should have received an invitation) on Friday, October 6, 2006 at the Georgia Aquarium The Court would very much appreciate it if you could provide a letter of congratulations to the Court on its Centennial. The Court will be including the letter in the event program. It would be helpful if you could provide the congratulatory letter by September 15, 2006 or, if that is not possible, no later than October 4, 2006.

Attached to this letter, you will find an Request for Ceremonial Document form and an information sheet concerning the Court and the other events celebrating the Centennial which will be taking place in September and October, 2006. If I can provide you any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely yours,

Chief Judge John H. Ruffin, Jr.
