Copyright Infringement
By this letter, I authorize you to act as Jim’s attorney and to file suit against Scraper Corporation to recover damages for copyright infringement. I have enclosed a copy of our copyright and the letters I wrote Scraper concerning their infringement.
I have enclosed your $5,000 retainer. I understand that you will bill us at the rate of $350 per hour. I also want to remind you that I must approve any billing beyond 100 hours. You recall that you said that this case should not cost Scraper more than $35,000.
If you agree with the terms stated in this letter, please sign it in the space provided at the bottom and return it to me. If you do not agree, please call me immediately so we can make other arrangements.
