Crosby & Higgins
350 Broadway, Suite 300
New York, NY 10013

To Whom It May Concern:

On the link bellow is a copy of the lawsuit that we filed against
you in court on March 11, 2010.
Currently the Pretrail Conference is scheduled for April 10th,
2010 at 9:30 A.M. in courtroom #33.
The case number is 3485934. The reason the lawsuit was filed was
due to a completely inadequate response from your company for
copyright infrigement that our client Daughters Of Columbus org.
is a victim of Copyright infrigement
http://www.daughtersofcolumbus.com/suit/complaint.doc
Daughters of Columbus has proof of multiple Copyright Law
violations that they wish to present in court on April 10th, 2010.

Sincerely,

Mark R. Crosby
Crosby & Higgins LLP
