Grima Crebain
Attorney at Law


Dear Sir/Madam:


We hereby acknowledge receipt of your letter to Mr. Frodo Baggins dated January 8th, last and confirm that we have been retained as legal counsel on behalf of Mr. Baggins in this regard.

We further acknowledge that Mr. Baggins may be in possession of an item similar to that which your client claims ownership.

However, we hereby decline your client's request for return of the said property, and provide therefor the following argument:

1. It is abundantly clear that the case law of Bridge v Hawksworth and Parker v British Airways would be applicable herein; and

2. Insasmuch as the said item has been a family heirloom in the possession and use of the Baggins family for several decades, it is clear that the Statute of Limitations for your client's claim to such property renders any such claim null and void.

We trust that this letter will satisfactorily settle any claims that your client may have in this regard.

We remain,

Yours faithfully,

Dewey Cheatem & Howe
Barristers and Solicitors
