I-9: DOCUMENT ABUSE THE "BEFORE" LETTER

January 14, 1999

Dear Sir,

This letter is in response to today's telephone conversation between yourself and SC, Human Resources Representative regarding our employee VB. CL Engineering is willing to give Mr. B time to replace the expired work authorization and/or bring to us a letter from the INS stating from the INS stating he is still eligible to work because his application for permanent residency has not been determined. You should know that if we do not have this in our hands within 45 days, we will assume Mr. B is no longer eligible to work in the United States, and will, unfortunately, have to follow our obligation to terminate his employment.

Your threats against CL Engineering Inc. are not only inappropriate but mask the responsibility Mr. B has to affirmatively produce documents that show his entitlement to work in the United States.

Sincerely,

CL ENGINEERING INC.

JG
Human Resources Director
