Subj: request for tax abatement

Dear Members of the City Council,
Please accept this FAX as my request for approving our application for a Tax
Abatement on our home at 3408 Emerald Drive; in Ames.
When my wife and I purchased this townhome it was our first home purchase.
Our lawyer, Craig Hastings, who helped us to buy that place on a contract
basis, told us about the tax abatement that was available for 5 years. That
abatement made it very attractive to buy that home.
We visited town hall and asked for the desk that handles tax abatements and
real estate matters. We visited that upstairs desk and explained that we
wanted to get the forms for tax abatement from property taxes. We filled
out a form called Homestead Tax Credit, which we understood was the
appropriate form to obtain the tax abatement, but we have only very recently
learned that we were not given the proper form(s). We would like to correct
this situation.
We ask you for your assistance and consideration on this matter and look
forward to hearing from you soon. Please make this tax abatement into
effect immediately. Thank you!
With best regards,
B. Vincent Crist
