Mr. Mark H. Cohen

Executive Secretary

Office of the Governor

State Capitol

Atlanta, Georgia 30334-0900

Dear Mr. Cohen:

Thank you for your very kind letter of December 18. Congratulations again on your new position with Troutman Sanders. I am sure that it will be both professionally and personally rewarding to you.

It is I who needs to express my thanks and appreciation to you, not only for your service in the Governor's Office, but for your service with the State Administrative Law Judges and the Law Department. I have not forgotten that you were kind enough to drive to Rome, Georgia one night and speak to the judges of the 7th District.

If I can ever be of assistance to you at Troutman Sanders, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld
