Keep it simple...

Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick,

One cannot quantify the loss of a loved one with money. Also the amount
of suffering, though it may vary between each person who lost a loved
one, cannot be assumed as such. Drawing a line in the sand and claiming
that one person suffers more than another (and should get more money) is
asinine. Defining "loved one" is also ridiculous. The only alternative
you have is to divide the fund up equally among the immediate relatives
and those who can prove mutual interdependence with the victim in the
sense that they shared living expenses.
The money should be tax free and all of the cost associated in
collecting, holding, managing and distributing the money should be
covered by acts of charity, our government and the citizens. In other
words: every single cent donated should find its way into the hands of a
person who lost a "loved one".

Please do what is logically sound and right!

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
