The interest is not large enough to justify sending an agent or an attorney. Once again, I enclose a copy of my receipt for the purchase of these minerals. I paid $440 for this interest in September 2003. This purchase was done through a national auction site that brings top-dollar for minerals, royalties and oil/gas properties. This mineral interest is— a) not located in the Wattenberg Field; b) not leased; c) not producing; d) not a full 100% interest (seller believed it to be a 1/4`s undivided interest) Please adjust the value of this property for assessment purposes.
