RE: My Wife's Name is not on the House Mortgage


Sir/ Madam:


Greetings!

This is to inform your good office, that my wife, MARIA MAKILING STORM is not in the list of my house mortgage liability since the property was acquired when I was still single. I don't want her also to be legally obligated and feel the burden of paying the debt regardless of any circumstances.

I hope that this letter will help her application for Removal of Conditions (ROC) and will serve as a proof that we have a bonafide relationship as a married couple.

Hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you!



Sincerely,



MARK RANDOLPH STORM
Husband of ROC Applicant
