Sample AG letter

The following is a sample letter you can copy and send to the Attorney General of Massachusetts. I used it and I also included my own additional experiences, thoughts, observations and worries as an addendum. It makes sense to me to personalize the letter in some way. I think it may carry a stronger message that way.

RE: Complaint Intake No. 103518 

Public Protection and Advocacy Bureau
Office of Attorney General Martha Coakley
105 William Street
New Bedford MA 02740

Dear Attorney General Coakley,

I am writing regarding concerns involving some 4,500 time share owners of Sandcastle Condominiums and Resort (SCCR), Route 6A, Provincetown MA. Importantly, many of my fellow owners have fixed incomes, limited means, or are retired senior citizens and jointly we have little resource to protect our legal interests in this matter.

I understand that you have already received communication in this matter (intake no. 103518), but I wish to impress upon your office the broad scope of people affected by this situation and highlight three specific legal concerns remaining at this time.

1)Unethical and possibly illegal sales tactics and practices by Outfield Marketing representatives in Massachusetts. Importantly, the owners of this Texas-based company now hold ¾ majority vote on the Board of Trustees at SCCR.

2)Claim by the Board of Trustees that timeshare units purchased by the Trustees as “Developer Units” built 30 years ago and “never sold” are eligible under law for renovation paid for by owners of other units.

3)Claim by the Board of Trustees that the Developer Units have never been sold or rented when they decline to reveal which units and decline to provide sales and rental records for the entire time that SCCR units have existed.

I remain concerned that potentially illegal practices at SCCR may be perpetuated throughout the Commonwealth by these individuals who have multiple other timeshare endeavors in progress.

I would be happy to discuss these issues in detail with a representative from your office at any time.

Respectfully,
