Page 4 - Redemption Manual 4.5 Edition

Note 1 : While we don ' t advise it, under extreme circumstances, e.g . , incarceration or no
access to computer, you can complete this process manually by mail. We have included
a complete set of documents in which lines have been inserted in place of all required
information fields. The process can also be completed with a typewriter. You can use
the manual forms, or type all the documents from scratch, at your option. However, it is
best to have an outside party or family member with power of attorney and a computer
to do the process for you. They can do a much better, and more professional appearing
j o b, on the documents . . . on computer! DOING THE PROCESS ON COMPUTER
AND THE ELECTRONIC FILING BY COMPUTER IS THE WAY TO GO!

Note 2: If your copy of the Redemption Manual 4th Edition was mailed to a penal
institution the Bonus CD is considered contraband, and the CD was mailed to your
friend/outside family member.

Note 3: If you have a non-windows computer, you will have to translate the instructions
to make appropriate allowances for your platform and software. We have provided plain
text (ASCII) versions of all the documents on the Bonus CD to save you the effort of
retyping the text. These files can be opened in any text editor and reformatted.
