Dear Rudy:

Please accept this letter as a long overdue thank you. Now that we have successfully completed yet another lease package with you I wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated all of your assistance in expediting the equipment leases for each of the three Blue Burrito Grille restaurants and Zen 32.

As you know, I have been in the restaurant industry for many years and I can say that it has truly been a pleasure to work with you. Not only were you the only one able to secure the terms and rates I needed on the equipment leases for all four of my restaurants, but your attention to detail and your willingness to accommodate my unusual schedule with professionalism and expediency makes you truly stand apart from others.

As expansion of my restaurants are eminent, I know I will need future financing. I am happy to say that based on our 100% successful track record together that I will not hesitate to utilize your services. Again, many thanks for all of your assistance and you can expect to hear from me in the very near future.

Sincerely,

RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.
