She suggested that I call you to make some kind of payment arrangements. I agreed, and tried to call you at least four times. I never received a return call. I left a message that, in an attempt to save money, I would not be using my attorney on this matter. 1 thought it would be a simple agreement to make payment arrangements and since money is tight I thought it to be the prudent thing to do. I have been waiting to receive a contract that was supposed to be given to my company in rnid February. There have been some engineering problems that have kept my customer from placing an order with us. Those problems are almost resolved and I expect an order at any time. I am confident that it will certainly be before the hearing date of June 11, 2001. It is my intent to pay the settlement agreement in full at the time I get the order. If it is your client's wish to resolve this matter in a simple non-confrontational manner all you need to do is contact me. My daytime telephone number is 232-8237. __~7elY, 71';7Idr ~~itt Cc: Heather M Faust, Esquire PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT 'f .. ,.''*~~ ~ ~ ~ ," [~" DALEY LAW OFFICES cl,'" J 1029 SCENERYDRlVE' HARRISBURG, PA 17109' (717) 657-4795' FAX (717) 657-4996 March 27,2001 Cumberland County Courthouse Office of Prothonotary One Courthouse Square Carlisle, P A 17013 PLAI\'lTIFFS E)(HIBIT Re: Schuvler v.

Hitt Dear Heather: I received a letter dated May 8, 2001, from your client, Kerry N. Hitt. A copy of the letter is enclosed for your review. I am writing to you with the hope that you will communicate the following information to your client: 1. 1 would not return a telephone call to Mr. Hitt since he has been represented by counsel in this matter. I would be ethically precluded from taking that action. 2. My records do not reveal that he called my office on multiple occasions. I did receive one telephone call from Mr. Hitt, but never any follow-up information. 3. Your client has not met the obligations as they are due and, therefore, he is in breach of the agreement and subject to pay the original amount owed plus additional attorney's fees, costs and interests. Those costs will continue to accrue until the final payment is made. The hearing will not be canceled unless there is a full satisfaction of all remaining amounts due from Mr. Hitt prior to the hearing. We are in the process of calculating the additional fees that are due as the result of his breach ofthe agreement and I will have a payoff figure for his obligations upon your request. 4. In the event that you are no longer representing Mr. Hitt in this matter, please let me know that I may communicate directly with him. I would appreciate the courtesy of having this letter sent to him by your office. ~~ "' -~ " llli; ~ . Heather M. Faust, Esquire Page Two May 15, 2001 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
