To LTPC ALUMS:

It has been a while since my last communication and would like to bring you 
up to date on what is happening.  

1.  The attorney's are still looking into this.  Believe me on this.  Some of 
you know the firm that is taking a long hard look at this.  I just can not 
divulge it yet.  They have invested time and money to see if this lawsuit makes 
sense.  Just the fact that they are looking into it for this much time is 
good.  But again, until they decide to represent us on this we have nothing 
concrete.  I am hopeful, but do not want to get my hopes up too much.  When I get an 
answer from them I will post it, whatever their decision is.

2.  I have been in contact with the Tennessee Insurance Commission and 
complained about not being able to deliver policies.  Complained that some policies 
might not be taken since we did not deliver.  Consumer got the short end of 
the stick when delivery came by mail with a note attached where to sign and send 
the check.  You might want to write or call them too.  You might want to 
complain to your state agency.

3.  Sent out letters to Cendant Board members and executives.  Did not get 
any response except the letter from Dan T.  I guess that is what you call a 
stone wall.  The letter from Dan T. is the one I posted here.  Letters went out to 
every major business publication, market makers, and CEO watchdog groups.

4.  Spoke to Dan T. twice over the last three weeks.  There is no movement 
period.  The main reason they do not want us to contact affinity group members 
is that according to Dan T. if we make a sale the affinity groups will not make 
any commission.  If that is the case than why was it ok to join Robert 
Forman's agency and contact affinity members?  The only thing that will work is 
legal action.

5.  Attorney's need some input here guy's.  I believe to the best of my 
knowledge it is provable that LTPC was for sale.  There were deals on the table 
that did not happen due to how Cendant was structuring them.   It seems that 
Cendant wanted to keep the renewals and sell LTPC's other assets.  The question 
is, even if they were to sell the company why would the new owners keep the same 
contract with the agents when it came to vesting since the new owners would 
not get any renewals on the old  business?  So is it possible that even if LTPC 
was sold, the agents would now be under a new contract and might have to 
start all over again to get vested.  So your vesting rights might not have been 
carried over even to new company.  So now the question is, if this deal they 
tried to make was not marketable, and they knew it, were we mislead and lied too? 
 Were a lot of agents hired just to pump up numbers to help with the sale?

6.  Has anyone had any correspondence from LTPC on any policies that were 
delivered?  I have not had one bit of information from LTPC on any application 
that was pending or on any delivery.  Cendant has kept us in the dark.  Has 
anyone had any correspondence about policies that were not taken?  Premiums that 
might be late so we can remind them?  Has anyone not had a policy accepted 
because of the way they were delivered?  Has anyone not had a couple accept a 
policy because one spouse was not approved?  Since we could not deliver the policy 
we did not have the opportunity to resell the benefits again to the 
applicant.  Let me know if you lost commission, or think you lost commission due to 
LTPC.  These are all things that the attorney's would want to know.

Your opinions are appreciated.  I forward many of them to the attorney's so 
they get a sampling of opinions from other agents.  If you have any information 
or thoughts please contact me.  You can email me at shampooric@aol.com or 
call me at 954-629-7545.  Anything we talk about will be totally confidential.

Richard Moore
