582 N.Y.S.2d 187

Opinion

April 14, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Beverly S. Cohen, J.).

"A letter may be considered an instrument for the payment of money only, pursuant to CPLR 3213, so long as the writing unconditionally acknowledges a debt (Maglich v Saxe, Bacon Bolan, 97 A.D.2d 19)." (Blum, Gersen Stream v 346 E. 72nd St. Assocs., 172 A.D.2d 444.) Nevertheless, we affirm, since defendants' opposition raises issues of fact as to the circumstances surrounding the execution of the note and the letter.
