Dear John Doe,
We are writing you because we
believe that you have property at the warehouse located at 4109 Glencoe Avenue,
Marina Del Rey, California 90292 (“the warehouse”) that was formerly leased by
Action Moving Company (“Action”).
In October of 2002, S&S
Investments (“S&S”) served Action with a three-day notice to pay its rent
which was three months in arrears, or forfeit its right to occupy the
warehouse. Action failed to pay and,
accordingly, its tenancy terminated upon expiration of the three-day period. In November of 2002, S&S filed an
unlawful detainer action in California Superior Court so that Action could be
removed from the warehouse. On April
29, 2003 Action stipulated to entry of a judgment in the unlawful detainer
proceedings. One month later, Action
Moving Company’s attorney filed a petition in federal bankruptcy court putting
his client into involuntary Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy. Action subsequently agreed to the Chapter 7
liquidation and a bankruptcy trustee was appointed. The trustee determined, however, that there were not sufficient
assets and she elected to “abandon” Action’s assets. For more information, please visit the website we have created at
www.SandSinvest.com.
We now find ourselves in the
position of having to oversee the physical transfer of the property Action left
behind. According to our records, you
have possessions in storage in the warehouse.
You have two basic options with respect to your property:
If you wish to keep your property
in storage, Gentle Giant Moving and Storage Company, Inc. (www.ggiant.com) has agreed to move your property to its facility located
in Hawthorne, California at no cost to you.
Your monthly storage rate will be the same or very close to what you
have been paying to Action. Gentle
Giant is licensed by the CA PUC (T-167688) and is fully insured.
If you elect to have Gentle Giant
take over your account, you should pay your storage costs as discussed below, and
contact Gentle Giant at 310 978-2939 (toll free: 800 416-6838) or by email at maria@ggiant.com.
You may pick up your goods or have
them moved to a facility other than Gentle Giant. If so, Gentle Giant will handle the property within the warehouse
and will charge you at the time of service for the labor required to stage and
prepare your property for removal.
If you elect this option, please
pay your current storage costs as discussed below, and set forth your plans in
writing and mail or email them to us.
You will need to pay your accrued
and current storage costs before your property will be released. You may need to write two checks and send
them to the address below: one to S&S for what is due from November 1,
2002, and the other to Action Moving Company for any amounts due previous to
November 1, 2002. According to our records, you owe S&S $nnnn.nn through
July 2003, and will owe $mm.mm through August 15, 2003, for a total of
$ppp.pp. You will owe an additional
$mm.mm for the second half of August if your property is not removed by August
15. Action Moving is due $rrr.rr. Checks over $400.00 must be cashier’s
checks. If you dispute this accounting,
please provide us with cancelled checks or other bank statements that
substantiate your claim. These may be
mailed to S&S Investments, P.O. Box 9121, Seattle, WA 98109-0121, emailed to claim@SandSinvest.com, or faxed to (206) 666-6615. Please include a full explanation of your claim, and supporting
documentation.
If you do not reclaim your
possessions and pay the necessary storage fees, they may be sold at auction as
set forth in the enclosed “Notice of Right to Reclaim Abandoned Property.” If
you elect Option #1 or #2 above and pay for your storage, you may disregard the
attached “Notice of Right to Reclaim Abandoned Property.” Any possessions not claimed or transferred
by August 31, 2003 will be charged storage at the rate of $60.00 per vault or
oversized item per month.
This has been a difficult situation for all of us, and we hope that we will be able to settle these matters in an orderly and efficient manner. Sincerely, For S&S Investments---------------------------------------------------Cut here and return form-------------------------------------------
