Dear Melissa Cheung,
Ms. Cheung,
My request is quite clear as to the records which I requested!
For Clarification
Separation agreement
Any agreement that Montclair agreed to with an officer to separate from employment and not retiring
including but not limited to severance pay, the official date of termination, and any obligations or restrictions on the employee, such as waiving rights to file a lawsuit or non-compete and non-solicitation provisions.
Yours sincerely,
Bradley Eagon
