Condominium books and records inspection

The following was mailed today to Tom Patti and Jess Watkins with copies to Robert Dogan, Maria-ines Pariente, and Rebecca Seekford:

On August 1, 2007, as a courtesy to CMS, Joe Smith and I requested an appointment to inspect the Southampton Condominium's books and records. We have not heard from CMS. Therefore, on or after August 20, during business hours, Joe Smith, and I will visit the CMS office to inspect and copy the following:

(1) All invoices for legal expenditures in connection with the case filed by the Commonwealth of Virginia against Linda K. Thompson and Julie Carole Handley (Case #GC06001924-00 and #GC06001925-00).

(2) Evidence of payment of invoices for legal expenditures (payments to the firm retained by Linda K. Thompson and Julie Carole Handley, and to Association Counsel, David S. Mercer) in the above mentioned case, eg. cancelled checks.

(3) All correspondence with and responses from the Association's liability insurance carrier to CMS and/or Mr. Mercer.

Pursuant to the Virginia Condominium Act, § 55-79.74:1, Parts A and B, which states that the "right of examination ... may be exercised (i) only during reasonable business hours ... and (ii) upon five days' written notice reasonably identifying the purpose for the request and the specific books and records of the unit owners' association requested."

Patricia Cooper at CMS provided the information requested during a visit to the CMS office by Joe Smith and Enver Masud.

However, on October 1, 2007 we requested and received an August 15, 2006 letter (received by CMS on August 20) from Travelers insurance company.

Why did CMS not give us this letter during our August 21 visit?
