Request for compensation

As I'm sure you are overwhelmed with requests, I will
keep my letter succinct.

I didn't loss a job or a loved one. I lived in
Battery Park City. I lost walking my dog and meeting
with my friends every morning. I lost feeling safe at
any hour. I lost sitting on the Esplanade. I lost
being able to walk across the street and jump on the
subway to any other part of Manhattan. I lost walking
to work. I lost my life.

A job can be replaced, you can't replace a
neighborhood. I am a victim of the World Trade Center
Disaster and as deserving of relief as any other
victim. The American people amazed the world with
their outpouring of generosity. My loss is as
legitimate as the people who are now widows and
orphans and unemployed due to September 11.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
