Dear Mr. Powell,

Everyone here at Powder Monkey Music/BFP is excited about the release of your newest audio recording, El Vado. The entire Powder Monkey family of consumer goods is behind your follow-up effort to 2004's exciting The Floods of Lexington Pacheco. As you know, we have dedicated significant resources to your release and are in the business of releasing our products in a manner that is consistent with our marketing efforts.

However, per agreement, the release is scheduled for "March 2009." Today is March 31, 2009 and as of midnight we will have no recourse than to consider your forthcoming release to be in contractual breach. It is unfortunate and disappointing that we have not received a status report on your recording project.

Please contact me (directly or through representation) at corporate headquarters as soon as you can, preferably today, so we can discuss the status of El Vado.

If we do not hear from you by business open tomorrow (April 1, 2009), we will begin the process of recovering our losses on this project.
Sincerely best,

Ty Hardaway
