Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Thursday, February 07, 2002 10:35 AM lost forever Mr. Feinberg I am writing you again regarding who is eligible to claim funds from the compensation fund. I have read many of the comments that have been posted . I have also written letters to The Attorney General of N.Y.,the Governor of N.Y., My State Senators and I have spoken to my attorneys. I am the fiancée/Domestic partner of a victim from the WTC attack. Apparently there are many other people in the same situation as I am ,which is not knowing if we will be part of the claim process. The woman I love was brutally attacked and murdered just as all the rest of the victims were. and I were as much married and dependent on one another as anyone else who actually was married. We supported each other emotionally,financially and spiritually! We cared for each others families without hesitation, We lived life for each other as soul mates . We were inseparable except when we were at work . My pain my grief my loss is something only the other victims families could understand. There is no way to describe what has happened to all of us . The nightmares awakening me with screams the visions of death the ache in your heart in an instant perfect harmony changed into a tragedy. The loneliness the empty chair no one to warm your feet on a cold winters night. You can almost say you are close to being catatonic. I am not judging the amounts to be given to the victims families I cant imagine trying to put an amount on pain and suffering or determining what someone may have made 10 to 15 years down the road. All I'm saying is that documented fiancée/domestic relationships must be eligible to receive compensation under your rules. You have told me in the past it's the state law that dictates who is eligible. I spoke to the attorney general and the Governor and they say the state law has nothing to do with who is eligible for the fund its strictly up to you Mr. Feinberg. Don't just hear the people listen to them they are crying out to you.
