(27) September 11, 2002:
E-mail to: Blaney, McMurtry
Suggesting I (Ron Hicks) would voluntarily take down the articles from the website if
Margaret received monies from the short-term disability plan that she was entitled to.
Also, AIG would agree to resolve this issue within a certain time frame and we would not
proceed in Criminal Court. |

(28) September 19, 2002: Letter to Tower
Administrative Services
(1) Employment statement form (second copy signed and mailed - they claim they did not get
the first one, yet it was in with the Doctor's forms they acknowledged receiving)
(2) Form 14 (Mental Health Act) completed.
(3) Signed letter from Margaret's Psychiatrist stating, Margaret was too ill to work.
It made clear that Margaret is depressed and cannot work for an indefinite period of time.
(4) The Doctor's report on Margaret's condition from their first meeting of August 22nd,
2002 was also included. |

(29) September 20, 2002: E-mail received
from Blaney McMurtry
The e-mail claims to be in response to my e-mail of Sept. 11, 2002 but the attachment
deals only with procedures to claim disability benefits, not with my suggestions (27.) |

| (30) September 23, 2002: E-mail
from Blaney McMurtry More Ostracism practices
Demands Ron Hicks remove the articles from Scoreboard's website or they have
instructions to commence legal action immediately. |

| (31) September 23, 2002: Cheque
received for claim submitted in June 2002 TAS made a statement
that medical benefits Margaret was entitled to under her benefits plan would not be paid
until her claim was approved by AIG.
(A) It took almost 4 months for Margaret to receive a cheque for $22.50. The claim was
submitted on June 27, 2002.
(B) We were told by TAS that Margaret would not get any medical benefits that were
submitted until her claim for short-term had been approved. This cheque was sent because
Margaret ( via phone) was able to convince TAS that it was for a regularly schedule
appointment for her Lichen Planus injection.
(C) For medication Margaret was forced to rely on free samples from her Doctors and
welfare to pay for her prescriptions after we ran out of money. Note: we cashed in all of
our locked-in RRSPs and with my (Ron Hicks) medical problems I have not been able to earn
an income to cover for the loss of Margaret's income.
(D) We never had the monies AIG stated Margaret owed in their letter dated March 26,
2003. |

(34) September 26, 2002: Letter from Blaney
McMurtry
More Ostracism practices
(A) A copy of another letter they sent to Look Communications' lawyer that is false in
nature and defamatory to Scoreboard Canada Inc. and Ron Hicks. They were trying to get
Look to take Scoreboard's website down. However, Look did not agree with AIG's
statement that the website defamatory.
(B) Follow up, letter to Look. but Look still did not comply because they did not have the
authority to take Scoreboard's website down. |
