Dear Mr. Mastro:

Please be advised that the matter you describe appears to have merit and definitely would warrant the retention of legal counsel. However, you should be aware that for certain reasons a case of this nature cannot be handled on a contingent fee basis and will require that you submit a retainer in the amount of $50,000 to get things started.

Hoping to hear from you(and your check)at your earliest convenience, I remain

Yours truly,

A. Chaser, Attorney at Law
Licensed to practice in all States and Provinces
