RE: Your Insured - David Sparr
Date of Loss - Approximately 1987
Gentlemen:
Our firm represents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brinkman who own the
property at 510 High Avenue, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Adjoining our
clients' property is a property then owned by David Sparr. The
address of this property is 514 High Avenue, Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
There is a tree on the boundary between the two properties which
was damaged and died as a direct and proximate result of a fire
that occurred to Mr. Sparr's property. Mr. Sparr had promised to
remove the tree at the time the damage was caused but never did.
The City of Oshkosh has now demanded that our clients remove the
tree and we are now in the position of having to pay this cost
even though our clients were not responsible for the loss.
Mr. Sparr has since sold the property in question and has
suggested that we contact your firm for purposes of making an
amended claim to pay the cost of the tree removal.
Our clients would just as soon have your firm contract for and
pay the cost of the tree removal. Please follow through on this
matter so that our clients will not suffer any damages as a
result of this fire.
