Dear Mr. Beck:
All claims in the Peoples temple [Temple] Receivership have now been settled. There are approximately $14,000,000.00 in approved claims and there will be probably eventually be about $9,000,000.00 to distribute. The Receiver has recently obtained an additional $500,000.00 found in a Nassau Bank.
You will be receiving thirty-one percent of the Receiver’s Certificate that you settled for in this first distribution. In late November, there will probably be a second distribution of an additional thirty to thirty-five percent of the face value of your certificate. If additional monies are found, it is possible that yet further distributions will be made.
Enclosed with this letter is a Disbursement. If you find the Disbursement in order, please sign it were indicated. Also indicated is a copy of a check made payable to both you and me. You should endorse the check on the back exactly as your name appears on it.
