(19) August 15, 2002: Letter
received from Tower Administrative Company
Requesting for the second time the forms that are the subject of their letter of July 30,
2002. Note: Nowhere in any documents received from AIG including the employees
manual does it state who holds the policy. |

(20) August 15, 2002: Letter
from Margaret to Canada Life
'The letter informed Canada Life that we would take the necessary legal action
against them for their part in the conspiracy to delay and or deny Margaret's claim for
short-term disability benefits.
It was obvious to
both Margaret and myself that AIG, Tower Administrative Services and Canada Life were not
acting in good faith when processing Margaret's claim for short-term disability benefits.
Six weeks had past. We felt that AIG were going to do what ever they could to make
sure, she did not get her benefits. AIG knew they did her a great wrong and if
Margaret got her benefits this would be evidence of their mistreatment of her. |

(21) August 23, 2002: Letter
from TAS - More information required to assess Margaret's claim.
(A ) I phoned TAS (Margaret was ill) and told her that Margaret filled out the employee
statement form and mailed it with the forms the week of July 15/02. She stated that they
did not receive it. (If they didn't receive it how could they forward Margaret's file to
Canada Life?)
(B) We did not know at this time AIG held the short-term policy, TAS gave us the
impression that Canada Life held it and they were responsible.
(C) I told TAS, Margaret would not fill out the form 14 until she was well enough to
consult a lawyer first because of privacy issues and the fact Margaret would be taking
legal action against AIG. I told her I would get her a report from her psychiatrist and
forward it to her. She hung up the phone on me and would not return any of my calls as I
kept trying to get in touch with her all day. |

(22) September 3, 2002: Letter
to Margaret from Marjory C. Mackay (Human Resources Manager AIG)
(A) Claims they have not heard from Margaret. (false statement)
(B) Contains false
comments regarding Margaret's efforts to obtain disability benefits.
(C) Demands that (which were already done) Margaret forward forms to TAS or Canada Life
and or return to work by September 9, 2002 or AIG would assume she had voluntarily
resigned her position with AIG Life of Canada.
(D) Comments threatening to fire Margaret, regarding articles on Scoreboard. |

| (24) September 3, 2002: Letter
from Tennis Canada
More Ostracism practices to try and intimidate
Ron Hicks from publishing.
The letter from Tennis Canada said they had been contacted by Blaney McMurtry suggesting
to Tennis Canada, that their logo on our site indicated to our users that they
"Tennis Canada" was associated with Scoreboard.
The letter asked us to remove the Tennis Canada logo but despite the articles on the
website we would still be receiving their press releases and they welcomed links to their
site.
This letter is proof that AIG's lawyers (Blaney
McMurtry) were trying to discourage Ron Hicks from operating Scoreboard's website and
exposing AIG for what they did to Margaret. They were using unethical practices by
defaming Scoreboard to our sponsors and news suppliers by miss-representing the truth. |

| (25) September 6, 2002: Letter
from Marjory C. Mackay (Human Resources Manager AIG) ( A) They wanted to
ensure that Margaret understood the procedures for claiming STD.
(B) Requesting that Margaret provide the required documentation and signatures to TAS.
(C) The letter also states that if AIG do not receive either the signed forms or
Margaret did not return to work by Monday, September 16, 2002, they would assume that she
had voluntarily resigned her position and would take the necessary action to issue her
Record of Employment. |
|
(26) September 9, 2002: Letter to AIG from
Margaret
(1) In the letter Margaret stated she had her Doctor fill out all forms that TAS had sent
her. She also had forwarded the employee statement form (again) and that Margaret objected
to filling out the form 14 (Ontario Mental Health Act) until she had heard back from the
Ontario Human Rights Commission or had consulted a lawyer first.
(2) Margaret offers to
supply AIG and TAS with all the information they need from her Doctors regarding her
current claim for disability benefits.
(3) AIG's actions are forcing her to either return to work (when she is unfit) or quit.
