To Whom it May Concern: A traffic violation is being issued against you by the state of California, County of Sacramento. This is a letter of notification of a speeding violation incident that occurred in the month of October. The Superior Court of California Traffic division has found you responsible for operating your vehicle above the normal speed limit of 55 mph. Our Traffic division secret service patrol used an accurate speed velocity monitor and a hidden surveillance highway camera that detected your accurate speed which was beyond the posted speed limit. In order for you to resolve this over speeding violation and to prevent this case for being on your DMV driving record, a bail amount of $315.00 is being issued against you. Please read and follow the instructions below to avoid consequences and suspension matters.
Warning: Failure to comply with the above order immediately may result in the issuance of a warrant against you or a temporary suspension of your drivers license. In the state of California, a suspended drivers license restricts an individual from driving a motor vehicle. Please make money order or cashiers check to the PROCESS CENTER before your deadline. Under the jurisdiction of the government, WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. Please use the envelope enclosed.
Please mail the bail amount of $315.00 before December 03, 2004 to the:
