including
       Gores Holdings III and Gores Metropoulos, may present additional
conflicts of interest in

provide the basis
       for your subsequent statement that you "do not believe that any
potential conflicts would
       materially affect [y]our ability to complete [y]our initial business
combination."
2.     Prominently disclose that your amended and restated certificate of
incorporation will
       provide that you renounce your interest in any corporate opportunity
offered to any
       director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such
person soley in his

opportunity is one you

3.    Please discuss what procedures you will have in place to vet conflicts of
interest in
      pursuing an acquisition target.
4.    Include a chart highlighting by name and position, your officers and
directors, who have

and directors have
      to you.
6.    Explain why your management team and your independent directors may have
a conflict

      private placement warrants.
