    Dear r LeeWe have p1easure in nlosing five opies of the full aounts for

    the period (1)We are also sending you a list of the adjustments whih you needto make to your Norr-inalLedger so that the opening balanes at

    1 ay 1997 agree with (2) . . . .

    ' Please pu t in the details of a (3 ) .'." drawn

    in Deerrber1995 for Customs and xise into bank pa1rments.

    These details are missing so the Nominal Ledger understates

    ( 4 ). Inrease bank pa1ments by 185.20 and ode it diret to

    purhases. This will over various smll differenes whih have

    (5 ) .. - - . over th e Years '. ake newNorninal ldger code headings for

    ( 6 ) . . . . . d e b t s .. (7 ) ..... th e present ode headings fo r plant

    and equipment at ost to 0011.

    We feel it is better to separate the ost and depreiation of the

    fixed assets in the Nominal Ledger to mke it easier to o)are

    (S) It also makes it easier to find any

    (9 ) . . . . . whih have been made.If you have any problems with these hanges or would like to

    disuss them further, please (10) . . . . . . us.

    First oall, I suggest that as Ford is not ging to binvolvd in th daily manage-mnt of th partnrship h bmad a limitd partnr. Thismansthat his liabilityis limitdto th amount of apital invst-ed by him.H an ive fixdamount of intrston his invst-mnt or an amount basdon thprofits.I l hat r Gant, asth manging partnr,and rBlst who will be ativlyinvolvd,should rivsalarisfothir work.

    Tuning to profit sharing, Ithink it would b bst orahof the partnrs to reivntr-st on their apital invstmntand thn deid how to sharth rmaining profits.

    Finally,th awdos not rquiryou to draw up a |ega| dd ofpartnrship but I think youshouldhava wittnagrmnt.
