Page 12 of 14 Exhibit 99.18 Letter dated July 18, 2007 to the Corporate Secretary of the Issuer Abrams & Laster LLP Brandywine Plaza West 1521 Concord Pike, Suite 303 Wilmington De 19803 July 18, 2007 Therese K. Hathaway Corporate Secretary Telos Corporation 19886 Ashburn Road Ashburn, Virginia 20147 RE: Document Request from Andrew R. Siegel Dear Ms. Hathaway: My firm has been retained by Andrew R. Siegel in his capacity as a member of the board of directors of Telos Corporation ("Telos" or the "Company") and in connection with Mr. Siegel's requests for corporate documents necessary to fulfill his duties as a director of Telos. Upon being elected as a director of the Company, Mr. Siegel requested copies of Telos's board of director meeting minutes and the board committee meeting minutes for 2007. Mr. Siegel subsequently expanded the timeframe of his request to include the period since 2005. Despite acknowledging Mr. Siegel's request and confirming that the delivery of the requested documents in electronic form would be feasible, you have not provided the documents to my client. In his memorandum dated July 5, 2007, Mr. Siegel also requested a copy of the Company's 2007 budget, the Company's strategic business plan, and the current proxy agreement between Telos, the Department of Defense, and John Porter (the "Proxy Agreement"). To date, Mr. Siegel has not received any of these requested documents either. Mr. Siegel has a right to the documents he has requested. "[D]irectors .... are entitled to full and complete information as to the corporation's affairs." 5A William Meade Fletcher et al., Fletcher Cyclopedia of the Law of Private Corporations ss. 2235 at 343 (rev. vol. 2004). "Therefore, at common law, the directors' right of inspection was absolute, during their continuance in office at all reasonable times." Id. at 344-45 (citations omitted). In Henshaw v. American Cement Corp., the Delaware Court of Chancery stated the common law principles in Delaware before these principles were codified in the Delaware General Corporation Law: "A director of a Delaware corporation has the right to inspect corporate books and records; that right is correlative with his duty to protect and preserve the corporation." 252 A.2d 125, 128 (Del. Ch. 1969). The Chancery Court continued: "[The director] is a fiduciary and in order to meet his obligation as such he must have access to books and records; indeed he often has a duty to consult them." Id. (citations omitted). Although Maryland

Page 13 of 14 lacks a specific director-access statute, Maryland courts will follow Delaware in adhering to these common law principles.(1) In addition to Mr. Siegel's common law right to inspect the Company's books and records, Maryland law specifically provides that Mr. Siegel may rely upon the books and records of the Company in fulfilling his fiduciary duties as a director of Telos. See Md. Code Ann., Corps. & Ass'ns ss. 2-405.1(b). The right to rely on the books and records of the Company necessarily includes the right to access those books and records. Mr. Siegel has requested certain Company documents for the proper purpose of fulfilling his duties as a director of Telos. The Company has not and cannot offer any reason why Mr. Siegel should be denied access to the meeting minutes of the board of directors and its committees for the period since 2005, the Company's 2007 budget, the Company's strategic business plan, and the Proxy Agreement. Accordingly, please respond to this letter and inform me when you will deliver the requested documents in electronic form to Mr. Siegel or when you will make hard copies of the documents available for copying and inspection. If I do not receive a response from you by July 25, I will presume that you do not intend to comply with Mr. Siegel's reasonable requests and will take action to enforce his rights. In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Siegel is concerned about the conflicted engagements of McGuireWoods LLP ("McGuireWoods") as both general outside corporate counsel to the Company and defense counsel to the Company in its litigation with Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. ("Costa Brava"), currently pending in the Circuit Court of Maryland, Baltimore City, Case No. 24-C-05-009296. In his capacity as a director of the Company, Mr. Siegel is being represented by McGuireWoods, the Company's corporate counsel. As you are aware, Mr. Siegel is also a principal at Costa Brava. By representing both Mr. Siegel as a director of the Company and the Company in its defense against Costa Brava, McGuireWoods faces a current and direct conflict of interest between two clients. In this situation, McGuireWoods cannot maintain its loyalty to both clients and must withdraw from the conflicted representations. I urge you to bring this issue to the prompt attention of McGuireWoods. The firm should withdraw from its dual representation immediately. If not, the Company should terminate its engagement and seek all appropriate remedies, both with the courts as well as with ethics authorities. - --------------------------------- (1) In the absence of Maryland statutory or common law authority on point, the Maryland courts will look to the law of Delaware when dealing with questions of corporate law. See, e.g., Hudson v. Prime Retail, Inc., No. 24-C-03-5806, 2004 WL 1982383, at *13 (Md. Cir. Ct. Apr. 1, 2004) (noting paucity of Maryland case law addressing disclosure issues and therefore "rely[ing] primarily" on Delaware's "well-developed corporate law" to resolve the issues in the case); Shaker v. Foxby Corp., No. 24-C-04-007813, 2005 WL 914385, at *5 (Md. Cir. Ct. Mar. 15, 2005) (noting lack of significant Maryland authority on fair voting procedures and therefore citing to various Delaware decisions on the subject).

Page 14 of 14 I look forward to your prompt response on these issues. Sincerely, /s/ J. TRAVIS LASTER ----------------------------------- J. Travis Laster cc: Andrew R. Siegel
