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. Claims Dear Mr Zwick I am writing in regard to what appears to be a wonderful offer set up by the government to help the victims of September 11th. First let me tell you something about the life that was lost to me and to my two little boys on that day, that being the life of my husband &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp , whom I had been with since I was 14 years old. As I'm 39 now, I feel to say' a life time' would be appropriate. He was a good and kind man. A wonderful husband, a fun and caring dad, an excellent money broker and most importantly, the love of my life. In loosing &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp my life and that of our two sons, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp and &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp will never be the same again. I feel a need to write that as so many people fail to realize it. So whats my point. My family has suffered more than most people will every suffer in a life time and we do need help in many ways to be able to start to pick up the pieces of our lives and with our bread winners gone, our financial needs are unfortunately the most worrying. The amounts that will be paid out to myself and other families needs to be fairly implemented. I feel that the amount should be based on a life times salary and most important the amount should with out a doubt be made known to myself and the families before we are asked to sign away any writes. If the intention of the government to is to be just, then there should be no problem with an amount being offered prior to a waver form.
