And that letter was emailed, stamped and left at their door, and left in vm 48 hrs before the scheduled visit.

From what I understand only an architect can obtain an engineer stamp and it would be needed for such a project?

If people don’t know that you have assets, then they are less likely to sue because there’s no use in suing people that qualify for food stamps.

The only other “indicator” of the “reported price” would be the $ amount of the doc stamps paid, shown on the deed.  

Sign your name, stamp the sucker, and drop it in the mail. 

I don't know specifically about your jurisdiction but in most areas you don't need an architects stamp for single family work of the scale described but they can act as a coordinator for the engineering you will need as well as be your pint of contact with the city.Hopefully there's some useful info in this post, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other general permitting or architecture questions.

So your cost is minimal - paper, ink, envelope and stamp.

Also I will not be using envelopes and stamps - only direct mail and one letter (as in 1 sheet of paper with text) per mail box.Does it matter in this case if the paper is yellow or not?

The US mints only print paper money and stamp out metal coins to meet the demand of people who need or want to hold cold hard cash, e.g., ATM visitors, video arcade patrons, drug traffickers, etc.

I also use weird stamps that make it look even less like a direct mail piece.
