February 7, 2014 Eric T. Schneiderman Attomey General Office of the Attorney General State Capitol Albany, NY 12224 Dear Mr. Schneiderman, | met Willie Rapfogel about 7 years ago when two of my friends started a small food distribution. Once a year we give out some basic food staples to about thirty families, ‘We were looking to help more families but not sure how or if we would be able to take ‘on too much more being that we all have full time jobs. We were advised to speak to Willie. | will never forget that meeting. Wille, gave us his complete and undivided attention for over an hour. He listened intently as all three of us told him our concerns. | remember thinking, here is a man who I'm sure has many more important things to do, who probably helps more people in an hour then we do in a year and he is treating us like this was the most important meeting of the year. He alone, gave us advice, the confidence and encouragement to allow us to accomplish and have a positive impact on tons of thousands of men, women and children, Please take the above into consideration when determining Willie's sentence. Thank you, Abe ae ‘Shmuel Miller FOIL 150078 000013
