Greetings,

I wish to inform you through this platform due to the non return of my earlier letter to you by post.

On behalf of the Trustees Alfred Taubman foundation , I wish to notify you by this mail that late Alfred Taubman made you a beneficiary to a Grant/Gift. Alfred Taubman, left the sum of Three Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (US$3,750,000.00) to you as Grant/Gift for your activities.

Alfred Taubman helped make the mall into America's modern town square. Taubman, who grew up in Detroit during the Depression and started working at age 9, began building shopping complexes in the 1950s, when Americans were moving to the suburbs and falling in love with the idea of megashops. His fortune largely remained in Taubman Centers, a REIT of upscale shopping malls. A University of Michigan dropout, he was the largest donor in the school's history. The school's college of chitecture and Urban Planning bears his name, as does the research institute at the medical school. In all, Taubman had given away more than $250 million to charity, including millions to Detroit-area schools. He was also a strong supporter of stem cell
research. While he built many well known malls, he was known to many as the man who rescued British auction house heby'sThere's no question Al Taubman's philanthropic legacy will live on. And some of the details on just how that will happen are starting to emerge.


Educational and health care buildings and art museum galleries and wings across the campuses of several institutions, including the University of Michigan, College for Creative Studies, Lawrence Technological University, Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and the Detroit Institute of Arts, bear his name.Other legacies include an impact on medical research and literacy.

The gifts Taubman made may one day lead researchers at the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute at UM to a cure for deadly diseases — or spur architectural students influenced by his curriculum input to create magnificent designs.
