### Comment:
You want to exercise your long leg. Not sell.  
  
 Exercising will 'give' you the shares to sell that your assignment requires.  
  
 If you sell the put, you're just getting the value of the put with no way to cover the assignment on the call. 
  
 Since it's ITM, this might happen automatically depending on your broker, but you'll definitely want to get in touch with them.

### REPLY:
That would be for calls. It’s puts. Getting assigned ‘gives’ him the shares; exercising his owned put ‘gets rid of’ the shares.
