Dear Mr. Zwick
Thank you for working so hard for the victim's families. I think that your formula was a fair
amount of money. But I'm still not entitled to it.

My name is ; I am an adult( years old) child of . I also have a
sister
( years old). Our mother ( ) is still among the missing of the WTC attack. Under
your formula we would be entitled to $550,000. Which between my sister and I, I think that is a
fair amount of money. The only problem is our stepfather has collected my mothers' insurance
money that off sets the compensation funds Therefore, that leaves my sister and I with nothing.
Shouldn't my sister and I be entitled to something for all of our pain and suffering? This was our
mother. And how about my grandmother, shouldn't she receive compensation for the lost of her
daughter? Because our stepfather has received the insurance money we are now not entitled to
the victims comp program. This just doesn't seem fair.
I work on Wall Street, which is four blocks from the WTC. I was there when my moms' tower
started to come down. My fiancee worked at 7 WTC. He escaped death that day.
After all this pain we have gone through is there any way for you to help us?

Thank you,
