Dear Sir/Madam, 
Please find enclosed the Small Business Administration’s Petition for Remission together with 
Exhibit “A” and Wiring Instructions.  The SBA is a Cabinet Level Federal Agency and is charged

and has matched your Agency’s seizure number with the SBA loan or grant and the amount of 
money SBA has paid on the loan or grant to date.  Enclosed is SBA’s certified petition which 
proves that it is owed these funds.  Please return the seized assets to SBA for the SBA to properly 
account for the funds returned for each loan and/or grant as soon as possible.  SBA must properly 
account for the amounts collected for each loan or grant.  SBA’s Wiring Instructions are included. 
Also, please find enclosed with the Petition, SBA’s Exhibit B – Certified Statements of Account 
(CSOAs) and Proof of Payment supporting SBA’s claim as the victim and providing the total

IN RE SEIZED PROPERTY 
U.S. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION’S  
PETITION FOR REMISSION OF SEIZED PROPERTY 
The United States Small Business Administration files this petition for remission in 
response to the notice from your Agency based upon your Agency’s investigation.  The seized 
funds must be returned to SBA as the victim of fraud as was determined by your Agency.  SBA as 
a Federal Agency is not required to execute a “hold harmless agreement.”  In addition, SBA as a 
Federal Agency should not be charged any fees by your Agency.  All the funds should be returned 
to SBA so that the funds can be properly accounted for against the loan/or grant.  For each seizure 
identified in Exhibit A, the SBA has searched its Federal Records and determined that the amount 
seized is due to be returned to SBA.  SBA requests that these funds be returned without any delay 
and as soon as possible.

14. 
The Economic Injury Disaster oan Program ("EIDL") is a United States Small 
Business Administration ("SBA") program that rovided low-interest financing to small businesses, 
renters, and homeowners in regions affected by declared disasters. 
15. 
The CARES Act authorized the SBA to provide EID L loans of up to $2 million to 
eligible small businesses experiencing subst ntial financial disruption due to the COVID-19 
pandemic. 
16. 
To obtain an EIDL loan, a quali ing business is required to submit an application 
to the SBA and to provide information about 
e business's operations, such as the number of 
employees, and revenues for the 12-month peri d preceding the disaster, and cost of goods sold in 
the 12-month period preceding the disaster. I the case of EIDL loans for COVID-19 relief, the 
12-month period was the 12-month period fr 
January 31, 2019 to January 31 , 2020. The 
applicant was also required to certify that the in rmation in the application was true and correct to 
the best of the applicant's knowledge. 
17. 
EIDL loan applications were su mitted directly to the SBA and processed by the 
agency with support from a government contract r. The amount of the loan, if the application was 
approved, was determined based, in part, on t e information provided by the applicant about 
employment, revenue, and cost of goods sold. 
ny funds issued under an EIDL loan were issued 
directly by the SBA 
18. 
EIDL loan funds could be used fi r payroll expenses, sick leave, production costs, 
and business obligations, such as debts, rent, and ortgage payments. If the applicant also obtained 
a loan under the PPP, the EIDL loan funds could ot be used for the same purpose as the PPP loan 
funds.
