Dear Sir /Madam Clerk,
Pursuant to Mass. App. R. P., R. 16(l), the Plaintiffs
Appellants herein, respectfully respond to the Panel’s inquiry
during oral argument on December 03, 2019, with regard to a June
10, 2010 Acceleration Letter. Plaintiffs further respectfully
submit this Letter to ensure that Plaintiffs provide the Court
with the accurate contents of the Plaintiffs’ currently filed
Record Appendix, and reference thereto in their Opening Brief.
Due to the inclement weather on December 03, 2019, and the
rush to leave Rhode Island to get to the Court on time,
undersigned unfortunately did not take the Record Appendix along
with him to oral argument. During Oral Argument in the above
captioned matter, the Panel specifically queried undersigned as
to the precise location within the Record Appendix as to a
specific June 10, 2010 Acceleration Letter sent to Plaintiffs.
Due to the unfortunate issue of not having the Record
Appendix available, undersigned endeavored to locate the

document as expeditiously as possible (at great embarrassment),
by reference within the Opening Brief to the Plaintiffs’
complaint at p. 31.
Knowing that time was quickly winding down for oral
argument, undersigned made reference to the Plaintiff’s
complaint at RA-044, Paragraph 125. Turning to RA-044 at
paragraph 125 references “Exhibit L”. When reviewing Exhibit L
at RA-406, for some reason there was no Exhibit appended to said
Exhibit Cover page. Undersigned apologizes for this omission and
any inconvenience caused thereby.
However, in the Plaintiffs Opening Brief at p. 30, they did
make specific reference to this same June 10, 2010 Acceleration
Letter [Exhibit A attached hereto]. Plaintiffs also provided
citation at p. 30 of their Opening Brief to the specific
location within the Record Appendix [at RA-106] where the said
June 10, 2010 Letter could be found [Exhibit B attached hereto].
Therefore, Plaintiffs respectfully submit the preceding to
clarify the currently filed record on appeal before the Court
Respectfully submitted,

for terms between the "Lender" and Plaintiffs that
contemplated the possibility of Plaintiffs' default and
breach of the original terms of mortgage contract. Paragraph
22 recites the actions by the Lender [some only optional]
that would transpire upon default and breach by Plaintiffs:
"Acce1eration; Remedies. Lender shall give notice to Borrower

prior to acce1eration fo11owing Borrower's breach of any
covenant or agreement in this Security Instrument (but not
prior to acceleration under Section 18 unless Applicable Law
provides otherwise). The notice shall specify: (a) the default;
(b) the action required to cure the default; (c) a date, not
less than 30 days from the date the notice is given to Borrower,
by which the default must be cured; and acceleration and sale.
If the defau1t is not cured on or before the date specified in
the notice, Lender at its option may require immediate payment
in fu11 of a11 sums secured by this Security Instrument without
further· demand and may invoke the STATUTORY POWER OF SALE and
any other remedies permitted by Applicable Law. [RA-071, 072]
On June 10, 2010, the Plaintiffs received correspondence
that clearly mirrored the above language in paragraph 22 of
their mortgage contract, [RA-106]. This same correspondence
informed the Plaintiffs' that if they did not cure their
default by July 10, 2010 [30 days from the letter], that
their "mortgage payments" would be "accelerated" and would
require immediate payment on full of all sums secured by the
Security Instrument. The common understanding of "mortgage
payments" refers to the underlying debt obligation, as one
does not make payments on the security instrument.
Plaintiffs' never "cured" their default and have made no
further payments after June 10, 2010. Therefore, Plaintiffs
