Dear Mr. McNeill:

Re: Request To Expedite Payment - Contract PLC-09-17542

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been unable to complete the final delivery phase of the exterior wharf retaining wall under the above-noted contract. All work has been completed except for the installation of the tie-down anchors which have not yet been received from the manufacturer. These are expected to arrive within four weeks and we plan to install them as soon as we receive them.
In the meantime, we are experiencing a serious cash flow problem which is affecting our ability to complete a number of our other contracts; including the access road extension project (PLC- 10-21743). As you know, any delay in completion of the access road will have a negative impact on a number of other Phase 2 contracts.
We therefore request that you immediately release payment for the above-noted wharf retaining wall contract, subject to a 10% holdback to be payable on completion of the tie-down anchors. That arrangement will protect you while at the same time relieving the problems caused by our current cash flow difficulties.

Accordingly, please find attached an invoice for the final progress payment of $67,575 for contract PLC-09-17542.

If you have any questions at all please contact me immediately at 312-752-3479.

On behalf of our entire company I thank you in advance for your kind cooperation.

Sincerely,

Charles Strathem
Construction Contracts Manager

Maurice Blanchot writes that death is "man's greatest hope," for it "raises existence to being" and “is within each one of us as our most human quality."

    "Death may be the greatest of all human blessings."The above title comes from the well known philosopher Socrates, and in fact he is right. Since the dawn of humanity, there has constantly been death, destruction, catastrophe, and horror. Because if it weren 't for these things, would more humans exist today? More generations of more people? The human method of resurrecting and gaining even more power to become stronger as a race? Whether it 's within our cultures or societies we know of this method very well. The hope that keeps us advancing from the worst of times into the better. It 's the hope within death that new life will come and people will gain to be better that makes it the greatest of all human blessings. Hence, in such a book where…

    “Here is a small fact: You are going to die.” Death said this quote. He the narrator of Markus Zuka’s The Book Thief. Although this quote from Death is scary, he says later, “I urge you - don’t be afraid.” Everyone will die eventually, Death himself even said that. Whether that be intentional or accidental, the effects of death can change the direction of someone’s life, for the better or for the worse.…

    'Accustom yourself also to think death a matter with which we are not at all concerned, since all goods and all evil is in sensation, and since death is only the Privation of sensation. On which account, the correct knowledge of the fact that death is no concern of ours, makes the mortality of life pleasant to us, in as much as it sets forth no illimitable time, but relieves us from the longing for immortality. For there is nothing terrible in living to a man who rightly comprehends that there is nothing terrible in ceasing to live; so that he was a silly man who said that he feared death, not because it would grieve him when it was present, but because it did grieve him while it was future. For it is very absurd that that which does not distress a man when it is present, should afflict him when only expected. Therefore, the most formidable of all evils, death, is nothing to us, since, when we exist, death is not present to us, and when death is present, then we have no existence".…

    Death is something that every human must face. It is the inevitable conclusion to life and is something that humans have had to come to terms with since the dawn of their existence. This is very clear in many of the writings and stories that human beings have told throughout history. This obsession about the ultimate culmination of life is heavily expressed in literary works like The Epic of Gilgamesh, Virgil’s The Aeneid, and Beowulf.…

    Death – the inevitable fate of every living person, is often a stage in the cycle of life that is often feared, avoided, or misunderstood. Often time’s literary works contain elements of death to symbolize the end or rebirth of a person or place. Death shows no bias, no prejudice or discriminatory action. Death, quite simply, is the ultimate fate. It can be argued, that without death, there is no reason to live because there is nothing to fear.…

    Death, one of the most mysterious constructs in the universe. The mystery lies in whether our actions before death will affect what comes after death, and if there is even anything after death. Sadly the only way for one to find the answer to this, is to die. For this course we asked to analyze a piece of humanistic works representation of death, and so I chose Death by Maurice Maeterlinck This essay on death talks about thoughts on death and how it leads to our fears, then goes on to give ways to subdue or get rid of this fear through the use of reasoning. Maeterlinck tries to convince the reader that death is just an illusion and the fear can be conquered. Through the use of quotations, questions, in depth critical analysis, different scenarios…

    Humans have a persevering quality. They can be pushed down multiple times, yet still they stagger to their feet and search for what they are looking for. Death, the narrator, notices many people at their worst, searching for the people they love and knowing they probably won't find them, and yet those people still keep looking. Humans have hope. In the most hopeless of times, humans still have hope. Death is a sad occurrence. Death is something that inspires people to treat others the way they should have treated the person they lost. Through one of the hardest things a person goes through,…
