September 2, 2008 VIA CM/ECF The Honorable Joseph J. Farnan, Jr. United States District Judge District of Delaware 844 King Street Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: United States v. Douglas Runk Crim. Action No. 07-121-JJF

Dear Judge Farnan: On August 28, 2008, the United States moved for a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture as to certain United States currency of the defendant. The government respectfully requests that the Court grant the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture at or before Wednesday's sentencing in this case. Rule 32.2(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure requires that the forfeiture "be made a part of the sentence and included in the judgment." Accordingly, the government respectfully requests that the following language be included in the Court's sentencing colloquy and on page six of the criminal judgment: "Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(a), the defendant shall forfeit to the United States the currency identified in the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, which Order is incorporated by reference into the Criminal Judgment in this case." Respectfully submitted, COLM F. CONNOLLY United States Attorney
