Sample letter to homeowner association Date: __________________ To Whom it May Concern: I recently became aware of oil and gas exploration activities that are being actively pursued in . These activities include Oil and Gas Landmen soliciting leases from many of the individual homeowners and their Homeowners Associations for the purpose of acquiring the mineral rights to their subdivision commons areas, as well as being granted access for drilling. I have been advised that other Homeowners Associations in our area have already signed leases to Oil and Gas Landmen and Drillers without a vote of the individual homeowners. My understanding is that most Homeowners Association bylaws require a vote of its members before any sale or lease of commons areas can occur. My concern is that you as a board member may sign a lease without my vote and the vote of the majority of the homeowners. I am herewith urging you to not do so. I am also requesting information as to whether you or this Homeowners Association has already signed such a lease, or if you or other board members have been approached by any politicians or landmen that are encouraging you to sign a lease. Please inform me of any of the above activities that may have happened and keep me updated should any occur. Thank you in advance, - I look forward to receiving your reply. Sincerely, x
