> **Chapter 231 Exterior Doors**
> It has come to our attention that your residence is missing one or more exterior doors.
>
> Fine: **%%[[Fine Amount Per Door:$50]]%% per door**

===== A Few Notes to Keep in Mind =====
  * A single notice may be sent to multiple addressees.
  * Info in double-square brackets (%%''[[...]]''%%) will be the same for all addressees who receive a notice.
  * Info in double-curly braces (%%''{{...}}''%%) will be different for each individual letter of a notice.
  * It may be helpful to think of the relationship among templates, notices, and letters as a hierarchy:
    * **Template**: the foundation for creating letters
      * **Notice**: an instance of a template, it will create one letter for each of its addressees
        * **Letter**: an instance of a notice; all the notice field info will match (%%''[[...]]''%%) but the addressee info (%%''{{...}}''%%) will vary from letter to letter
