Dear Kim:

It was with great pleasure that I read the announcement in the Fulton County Daily Report about the reorganization of your firm. I know that it will be both personally and professionally rewarding to you.

Please try to lose a case so that you can come to the Court of Appeals and see me someday. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
