COLEMAN, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent.
The letter written to Mrs. Zambuto on June 24, 1974, read as follows:
“This is to inform you that the above referenced case has been administratively closed.
“However, we are awaiting the request for issuance of a Right-to-Sue letter from either you or your attorney, as informed would be forthcoming.”
During the summary judgment process several affidavits were filed, but Mrs. Zambuto did not file any. She never asserted that the letter misled her. She did not assert ignorance concerning the necessity for a right to sue letter. She made no effort to explain or refute the assertion in the letter that EEOC had been informed that either she or her attorney would request the right to sue letter. I am unable to find any evidentiary basis for the assertion in the closing paragraph of the majority opinion that Mrs. Zambuto was misled.
