Request #1008

PUBLIC

Under the Public Records Act., we request access and copies of unclaimed or outstanding checks, for the past five years, including the dates, names, last addresses, and amounts due the payees. (Generally these are accounts payable checks which haven't been cashed within six months.) (A list of actual copies, is acceptable.)

We are interested in amounts $5,000 or over and ones issued by your office (not ones that have escheated to the state unclaimed property office). It helps us all if your records have been reconciled to insure that none of the items have subsequently been reissued.

Our intent is to locate the rightful owners and assist them in claiming their money. Our firm has been in business over 32 years. We continue our mission of helping agencies, like yours, clear unclaimed items off their books, which is a good accounting practice, and help citizens recover their lost assets.

We are will to pay reasonable costs. Please give an estimate of the cost before beginning the work.

We appreciate a reply within 10 working days as provided for in the law.

Thank you.
