T~icord Systems, Inc. et al. ~A. NO. 96-2426 Dear Mr. Jaeger: Please be advised that we represent Defendant, Amber EXpr.~ss Co., Ltd., in the referenced matter and we have filed an Answer to Plaintiff's Complaint on behalf of said party. We note that you also have named the following as Defendants in this action: Amber Express Co., Ltd., Inc. and Amber Group International, Inc. We have been informed by our principals that there is no entity known as Amber Express Co., Ltd., Inc. Additionally, Amber Group International, Inc. was not formed until January 13, 1995 and can bear no responsibility for a shipment made in April of 1994. Bearing the above in mind, please advise if you will enter a Stipulation dismissing Amber Express Co., Ltd., Inc. and Amber Group International, Inc. from this action. Also, with respect to any liability of Amber Express Co., Ltd., we take this opportunity to inform you that no value was declared on the Air Waybill and, therefore, pursuant to the terms of the Air Waybill any liability of Amber was limited to 50 cents per pound. The declared weight of the shipment at issue was 490 pounds and, therefore, the limitation amount is $245.00. On November 23, 1994 Amber paid $245.00 to Tricord Systems in full and final settlement of the alleged claim. We are providing herewith for your reference a copy of the Air waybill and the settlement check that was tendered and negotiated. . '. ::~:~~rAMa)i~ .... . ...,;; I EXPRESS CO.
