Prospect, IL 60056 Dear Mr. Cooney: My company is in search of a relocation property- Most of the properties we've toured have been in DuPage County, the advantage of low real estate taxes being the main draw. However, when our real estate agent brought a property at 500 Carboy in Mount Prospect to my attention, I was very intrigued. The building seemed like a good fit. I am a longtime resident of Arlington Heights, and I would like to see my company continue grow in the northwest suburban area that I have grown to know and appreciate. It is my understanding that this building has been on the market for over two years. The asking price for this property is $1,250,000.00. In the event we know that we can get the 6B status we would move forward quickly with a contract to purchase. As the building we currently occupy is already sold, we are under pressure to act quickly. The builder-owner, is currently working on an office layout for us, as well as increased electrical power, and other improvements thaI we would require. Please allow me to tell you something about my company: WIREFORMERS INC., established in 1960, is an ISO-9001 certified, contract manufacturer of custom wire forms, flat forms, light stampings, springs and assemblies. We serve markets including but not limited to: appliance, automotive, construction, electronics, furniture, hardware, health care/medical and lighting. Please visit our . web site at www.wireformers.com for more information on our products. i. , ... .. . We currently have 13 full-time employees, however, several individuals already left our employ due to the move and we will be hiring again after we relocate. Our annual revenue over the past years has been in the $1.5MM to $2MM range. We would appreciate an indication from you so we know whether to proceed on this property. Please feel free to contact myself or my daughter, Susan Kanellis, with any other questions. Sincerely, ~~/YV) ~~ Louis M. Lischko President LMLlsmk ... ,---- ... -.--.. ..
