As you are aware, AARP Foundation, in cooperation with the IRS serves the
taxpayers in Monroe County with free tax preparation beginning February 1 st

cooperation from numerous sources, for which we are most grateful.
Pursuant to our discussion Lt'l your offices yesterday, I hereby request waiver
of fees for the use of the Marathon Government Center for our training class
