Dear Noam,</=>
</=pan>
Max is able to provide=two forms of accounts for the trusts. Please see our correspondence =elow.
</=pan>
One is a summary repor=, which I what I generally provide to my clients where I am the trustee.=C240 This
approach is far less costly to the trust, provides all of the f=nancial information for each year in categories and has the
annual account statement with all of the transaction details a=tached. This will be the information you will need in
order to deter=ine if you have any additional questions, and can be accomplished more qui=kly. The cost to each trust
for each year will be $5,000 per account.
</=pan>
The alternative approa=h is a much more detailed account which will double the cost to each trust=for each
year, and take longer to deliver to you. The cost to each t=ust for each year will be $10,000.
</=pan>
The above costs are re=sonable in my estimation given the amount of time involved to prepare each=account. I
recommend that Max prepares the summary report form of ac=ount for you.
</=pan>
Please let me or Gene,=in my absence, know which form of account you would like Max to prepare an= we will
let him know so that he can get started.
</=pan>
Best,
Deborah<=span>

Subject: Accountings/reports
Good morning Deborah —
I asked one of the accountants in our office to revi=w the annual reports (2009 - 2016) for the
s. As I noted to you, the reports a=e from both Goulston & Storrs (as
successor trust company affiliate to Edwards Wildman Palmer and Locke Lord) and Bainco and=the total runs between
2,500 and 3,000 pages. Based on this volume w= are estimating that the cost of a full-blown accounting would be
around $=0,000 for each trust. Alternatively, we could compile the data into summary report format (with the annual
repo=ts attached as exhibits) for around $5,500 per trust.
I will stand by to hear how Noam and Valeria would l=ke us to proceed.
Thanks,
Max
