OUR OFFICE TYPICALLY FILES MOST, IF NOT ALL, FORM 8868S ELECTRONICALLY ON BEHALF OF OUR TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS. HOWEVER, EARLIER THIS YEAR WE EXPERIENCED TEMPORARY TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ELECTRONIC BASED FILING SYSTEM FOR SEVERAL TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, WE PREPARED AND SUBMITTED MORE PAPER FILED FORM 8868S THAN USUAL. IT APPEARS THAT SOME OF THE PAGES STUCK TOGETHER DURING THE SIGNATURE PHASE OF THE PREPARATION PROCESS AND DUE TO THE SHEER VOLUME OF PAPER FORMS THIS FACT WENT UNNOTICED. ALL OF THE PAPER PREPARED FORMS WERE SUBMITTED IN A SINGLE BULK MAILING. THEY WERE NOT SEPARATED AND INDIVIDUALLY MAILED. SINCE THE PAGES STUCK TOGETHER DURING SIGNING PROCESS AND THEY WERE NOT SEPARATED INTO INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES WE DID NOT DETECT THE FACT THAT THREE OF THE FORMS WERE SUBMITTED WITHOUT SIGNATURE. UPON RECEIPT OF THE NOTICES WE REFERENCED OUR PHOTOCOPIES OF THE PAPER FILED FORMS. WE AGREE WITH YOUR ASSERTION THAT THESE PARTICULAR FORMS WERE SUBMITTED WITHOUT SIGNATURE UNINTENTIONALLY. WE ARE TERRIBLY SORRY FOR THE OVERSIGHT. AS AN ERROR ON OUR PART, THE ABOVE ENTITIES SHOULD NOT SUFFER OR BE ASSESSED ANY PENALTIES OR LATE FILING FEES. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST NO PENALTIES OR LATE FILING FEES BE ASSESSED UPON ANY OF THE ABOVE ENTITIES. FURTHERMORE, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST EACH ENTITY IS NOTED AS TIMELY FILING THEIR RETURN WHEN IT IS SUBMITTED FOR PROCESSING. WE DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THESE ENTITIES HAS FILED LATE IN THE PAST, NOR WOULD THEIR FILINGS BE CONSIDERED LATE THIS YEAR IF THE EXTENSIONS WERE PROPERLY SIGNED PRIOR TO SUBMISSION BY OUR OFFICE. THESE ENTITIES RELIED UPON OUR EXPERTISE IN FILING THEIR EXTENSIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVELY WE ARE AT FAULT. AGAIN, WE ARE TERRIBLY SORRY FOR THE OVERSIGHT IN OUR PROCESS. DUE TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS LETTER, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU REFRAIN FROM ASSESSING ANY LATE FILING PENALTIES OR FEES UPON THESE ORGANIZATIONS. WE ALSO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU TREAT THEIR 2013 FILINGS AS TIMELY FILED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
