Dear Mr. Wodatch:

We are having a very difficult time during our selling process of convincing
our clients that they need to comply to ADA standards when designing filing
systems like those enclosed. The purpose of this letter is to solicit your
help.

These clients typically respond with "that doesn't effect us" or "we will
never have a handicap person work in the file room". This response has come
from both the private and government sectors.

Our request: Can you address specifically those areas which should be
complied to with our equipment, and the consequences of knowingly not doing
so.

Besides wanting to improve the quality of life for these disadvantaged
workers, we are also concerned about our own liability if we fail to inform
our clients of these responsibilities. If we sell ourselves as "the
professional", this may hold us accountable. Any clarification you can provide
on this issue would also be beneficial.


Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. Please contact
me upon receiving this letter so that we may discuss in further detail.

Sincerely,



Mike Warren
