now come for all past due rent to be paid in full with a certilied check in the amount ot'$36,307.13 as
detailed in the memorandum previously given to you by Bill Walsh, Should tlUs payment not be received
by 4 P.M. Monday, Octobel' 6, 1997, Consumers will initiate the necessary action to evict you from the
