Dear .lohnay:
Today is day sevateen in the aftermath of the tragedy we suffered an September 11, 2041 when terrorists

Greater Miami Chamber of Com mome has authored, developed, coalesced and implemented an Economic
Generation and R icovery Plan to stimulate the economy of I4liarni-Dade County and Sm A Merida. We
are canal this plan will work as many of the components were used during the early 1990s when our
local econorny faltered as a result ofthe loss ofPanArn and Eastern Airlines, as well as Southeast Bank.
We want to sham the "Miami Model" with otber communities because we know that in order far our locsil
ecmiomy to bo stimulated, our natiou's economy must be stabilized. If we combine the strength and
resources of the City of Miami with the goals and missions of the "Miami Model" we firmly believe that
a strong eeonomic generation and recovery worts plan will spread throughout the cotwnunity.
We have an urgent need to secure funds to cover the costs assooWed with this project. 1 have enclosed a
projected budget that totals approximately $250,000 in expenses. Your support, at at fanding level of
$50,000, would greedy assist in deftaymg these expenses.
Thank you for your consideration ofthis request and I look forward to hearing ftin you.
