To Whom it may concern, 
Today I was notified of receipt at my home of letter dated 8/24/10 indicating that my Board Certification has been Indefinitely Suspended. Please know that I greatly respect the value of my Board Certification (and re-certification). Currently I am serving as a medical missionary in Haiti and will be there indefinitely. If at all possible, I would very much appreciate re-instating my Board Certification and waiving my certification maintenance fees. I am actively licensed in Hawaii (DOS 754) and this can be verified by accessing: www.ehawaii.gov (DCCA). Feel free to email me and I can send you an electronic copy of my license: ilandoc@hotmail.com. Due to the nature of my missionary service I cannot afford the fees that you require. I certainly understand if you are not able to accommodate me. Please let me know either way so that when I "rejoin" civilization I can explain to prospective employers that my board certification has been suspended. Thank you for your consideration.
