Dear Ms. Blye:
I am writing with respect to comments of the Staff delivered via email on September 17, 2013 regarding MMC’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Although your letter requested a response within ten business days, we will require additional time to gather information and prepare our response to the Staff’s comments. Accordingly, we respectfully request an extension to October 16, 2013.
Please do not hesitate to call me at (212) 345-3286 if you have questions regarding the above. Thank you in advance.
| Very truly yours, |
