Dear Valued Customer,

I want to personally let you know where we are in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

As you know, Manfra Tordella & Brookes, Inc. has been headquartered in downtown Manhattan for many years. The New York area and specifically lower Manhattan have experienced what meteorologists refer to as a once in a lifetime hurricane. Unfortunately, like so many firms in the area, we sustained substantial damages and it has curtailed our operations. Now that the hurricane has passed, we have been working ceaselessly to address the many challenges this has caused. We are hopeful that we can restore operations very soon. We will, of course, keep you advised.

We are currently not operating any over the counter transactions at this time. We hope to resume counter business when we relocate in the near future. If you wish to discuss placing an order, please call us at 212-981-4550 or 1-800-535-7481.

On behalf of our entire staff, I want to express our appreciation for your business, and thank you for your patience as we press forward to restore our operations and continue to provide you with professional and consistently superior services.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,
Raymond Nessim, CEO
Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, Inc
