Which statement correctly describes the letter handling requirement for disaffiliating members?

• A. They must turn in all letters regardless of payment.
• B. They must retain letters and not turn them in.
• C. They must turn in any letters they own that they did not pay for themselves.
• D. They must donate letters to the organization.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is ownership and return of organization property when a member disaffiliates. If a member did not pay for certain letters, those letters are considered organization property and should be returned. But if the member paid for the letters themselves, they own them and may keep them. This is why the statement that best describes the requirement is that they must turn in any letters they own that they did not pay for themselves.

The other possibilities don’t align with this ownership rule: turning in all letters regardless of payment ignores owner rights; retaining all letters contradicts the notion of returning organization property; donating letters to the organization isn’t specified by this policy and unnecessarily alters ownership.
