Re: United States v. $1,000,000.00
Civil Action Number:
Dear Sheriff Doe:
I am pleased to forward to you the enclosed United States Treasury
check in the sum of $_________ (or title to tangible property), which
represents your department's equitable share of the net proceeds of the
forfeiture in the above referenced case.
These funds must be used for the law enforcement purposes stated in
your Application for Transfer of Federally Forfeited Property (Form DAG
71). As the intent of this transfer is to enhance law enforcement, these
funds must increase and not supplant your appropriated operating budget.
Any interest earned on these funds must also be used for law enforcement
purposes. (See: The Attorney General's Guidelines on Seized and
Forfeited Property, July 1990.)
On behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice, I want to commend your
department for its effort which led to the seizure(s) in this case. Your
continuing cooperation with this Office and the (federal seizing agency)
in the war against crime in our community is important and greatly
appreciated by your federal law enforcement colleagues.
Sincerely,
John Q. Prosecutor
United States Attorney
or
John Q. Agent
