I kindly request that you review these documents expeditiously and provide me with the necessary guidelines and requirements to proceed with the short sale. I understand that this process involves negotiation, due diligence, and fulfilling necessary legal obligations. However, I believe that by working together, we can find a mutually beneficial resolution. I acknowledge my responsibility to cooperate fully and disclose any significant developments relevant to the short sale process promptly. Additionally, I assure you that all proceeds from the sale will be directed towards repaying the mortgage debt, as agreed upon by both parties.
