Andria/Andy
This e-mail is a result of the letter I sent to Sandi Thomson reo execution of the agreement for the garden suite.
From the conversation I had with them and this e-mail.itis my understanding that the garden suite has not been
constructed. Please advise if this is not the case and we will rethink our strategy.
Thanks

Hi Marilyn,
Further to our discussion by phone Feb.13th/04. This is to state that the use of a garden suite at this time
is not feasible and may not ever be needed, as the intended occupant, my mum, Isabel Thomson, is not
in good health and may require alternate living arrangements. We will be in touch when we know how
things are going either way.
Thanks for your patience
Sandi Thomson
