Re: Oil and Gas Lease,
0.57 acres lying within
NE corner of W/2 NW/4 NW/4
Section 26-6N-66W,
Weld County, Colorado,
Bellwether Exploration Company.
Dear Sirs:
The undersigned is presently representing Bellwether Exploration Company
who is the present leasehold owner of W/2 NW/4 Section 26-6N-66W except for
a 0.57 acre tract which we find the mineral ownership to be in the name of
Weld County by virtue of a tax foreclosure.
Please consider this our formal offer and request to lease said 0.57 acres
from Weld County for a bonus consideration of $75.00, said lease to provide
for royalties in the amount of 1/6th and for a primary term of one (1) year.
We further respectfully request that the bidding procedure be waived insofar
as we feel Bellwether would be the only party interested in obtaining such
a lease due to the small acreage content thereof.
For your information and advisement I have enclosed herewith a separate
sheet showing the correct legal description of the property involved.
Your earliest advisement in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very truly,
D. L. Percell.
