Ok thank you. The letters sent to P&G Home Renovations and Southern Home
Innovations are being returned, unclaimed. I looked both the businesses up on Sunbiz
and it is showing both businesses as inactive. I think it would be safe to say that both
businesses are no longer in business they just didn't notify us in writing. Please let us
know if it is okay to close out the files.

Thank you, the updated list. I received return mail for GP Masonry Inc, OCD Lawn Care,
OCD Tree Service and Amanda Connah today. I located two different addresses for GP
Masonry Inc and mailed letters to both addresses. I also mailed letters to the address
you provided on the deed for OCD Lawn Care and Tree Service. However, I was unable to
find a different address for Amanda Connah.Would you happen to have another address
