Dear Dr. Williams:

Please be advised that effective with the close of school on June 26, 2008, I will retire from the Buffalo Board of Education.

I want to continue my medical coverage and have it paid for by the District as per the BTF Master Contract, Article XXVI 2A (10). Please notify the Benefits Office to forward all necessary information/application forms concerning this as soon as possible.

I also wish to apply for the Early Retirement Incentive and/or Termination Compensation for which I am eligible. Please advise me of all the procedures I need to follow in order to have (some or all of) these monies placed into a Tax Sheltered Annuity account (or similar retirement account) should I elect to do same. Please notify the Benefits Office, Room 719 City Hall to forward all necessary information regarding this to me as soon as possible.

If you require any further information regarding any/all of the above, please contact me immediately.

 Sincerely,
