Trevon Upkins c/o LaShonda Jones 10950 Darryl Drive, Apt. 175 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70815 Re: Personal Injury Claim Date of Accident: November 4, 2001 Dear Ms. Jones: Please be advised that we have obtained a complete copy of the medical records for Trevon Upkins in the referenced matter. These records reveal that $ 1,307.47 in medical expenses have been incurred, itemized as follows:: EMS Baton Rouge General Medical Center Earl K. Long Memorial Hospital Foster Drive Medical Clinic $ $ $ $ 557.50 121.25 103.72 525.00

In light of the small amount of medical expenses, we feel that your best opportunity to obtain a reasonable settlement would be to file a claim with the Small Claims Division of the Baton Rouge City Court. However, as previously related, there does not appear to be any insurance coverage in this matter. Therefore, should you obtain a Judgment against the negligent driver, a Petition for Bankruptcy may be filed preventing any recovery. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office. With warmest personal regards, I remain Very truly yours,
