Such request shall: (A) Be in writing; (B) State the address of the real property for which water was supplied; (C) Be delivered to the billing address of the public or private water supplier by certified mail, return receipt requested, statutory overnight delivery, or electronic means if electronic communication is permitted by such supplier; and (D) State a return address or e-mail address to which the statement reflecting the moneys owed is to be directed.

I have direct lines of communication with Brokers in markets that we are targeting.

He's paid late three of the eight months, but aside from that and poor communication, he's been a decent tenant.

total to close, around $26500, still waiting for final numbers.all communications were through email, Yes I dealt with Indian people with crazy last names, but who were prompt and responsive.  8 out of 10 on the experience scale...

Wes Blackwell has a nice handle on the Central Valley and is very responsive in communication.

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.Feel free to ask here if you have questions
