Dear Michele,
 

AAA should pay me the outstanding balance of $4,400  per our

discussion today,
ref a, and the

AAA letter
dated Aug 13, 1998, ref b, for arbitration services
in the subject case.




The arbitrator depends on AAA to make payment, since there was no notice from
AAA to withhold service due to non-payment of fees by the parties.




The record of our discussion has links to

background
that support your efforts
in making payment.  Please let me know if there is further information you need
from me in order to make payment.




Thanks very much.




Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY






Rod Welch
