Mr. ******,

Thank you for your response.

MaryCLE, LLC is intrigued by the word "conspire" in the Maryland law.
MaryCLE believes that a Maryland court would find that a participant in a
pyramid scheme would be enough of a "conspiracy" to find in it's favor. To
conspire is "To join or act together; combine." Source: Webster's Revised
Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. Certainly, the e-mail was
sent in order to provide financial gain for you, the sender, and the other
three individuals on the list. You and the other four people mentioned are
"joined" in your participation in a program that you are aware employs UCE
as a means to attract business. The instructions also state that addresses
are to be moved up or down into the various spots on the list. That you name
is present suggests that your address was in "Spot #1" at some point,
further suggesting that you had some role in leading to the e-mail received
by MaryCLE, LLC.

Secondly, sending one e-mail to the individual in the "#1 Spot" seems
questionable as your best efforts to get in touch with that individual,
especially when his name and address is plainly apparent from e-mails such
as the one enclosed in my previous letter to you. Indeed, this individual is
difficult to get in touch with because he promotes a business that is
illegal in design and illegal in the means via which it is promoted.

Finally, these types of businesses are commonly known to be illegal, wholly
dishonest, or both. The adage "Ignorance is no excuse," comes to mind. That
you relied upon a website without considering the ramifications of your
actions or checking the various laws governing such programs before
participating does little to dissuade MaryCLE of your involvement.

You have every right to ignore the previous demand letter. However, if you
choose not to settle, MaryCLE has the right to bring suit along with it's
ISP to collect damages under the Maryland Code, Commercial Law, § 14-3002.
If you are found liable, your liability will likely not be less than $1,500.
I hope that you will reconsider your current stance.

MaryCLE will continue to hold open it's offer of $500 for full settlement.
However, in the interest of negotiation, MaryCLE will also promise to
absolve you of all further actions that specifically relate to this pyramid
scheme. That is, if MaryCLE receives further e-mails with your address in
the same general format relating to the same pyramid scheme, you will not be
liable to MaryCLE, LLC. If you choose to do this, you may follow the
instructions in the previous letter. For your convenience, I have enclosed a
copy of that letter for you again.

Please respond no later than May 7th, 2003. A hard copy of this e-mail has
been sent via postal mail to:

(my address)

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Regards,
