RE: 9/22/00 Mediation Claim Number 9641359
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you are aware on 9/22/00 the above mentioned claim was mediated. Opening demand
from opposing council was for $50,500.00 plus a fee. With the limited authority you had
given it seemed unlikely that a settlement would be reached. However, after some time
our attorney was able to reach a bottom-line demand in the amount of $30,000.00
inclusive of attorney's fees. Our attorney feels this is a fair settlement and is
recommending that we settle for this amount.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please
do not hesitate to contact me at ext. 4449.
