MESSAGE:
1) Hello, Randy. Currently I am in good health in these COVID 19 days although I am self-isolating as everyone in our apartment block is asked to do. I trust you and your family are in good health as well.
2) As you know, I am estranged from my family and, as such, as the handler of my insurance policy along with the mortuary (Hope Cemetery on Bank Street), you are the only ones which could be notified in the event of my demise.
3) Earlier I
sent the above 2-page Will to National Geographics
Endowment Fund. There was no acknowledgment which seems rather strange but
institutions oftentimes ignore individual requests these days. (NOVEMBER 2020 NG responded)
4) I am asking both parties above to e-mail me confirmation of this account.
Yours truly,
Roger Callow
