Re: Directors Fees and Chapter 11.


Dear Ms. Harkin

I am a shareholder of AbitibiBowater, Inc.

It has come to my attention that you have claim of about $185086 as directors’ fees in regards to your services at AbitibiBowater, Inc (Court Docket # 2568). As you know this company has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and shareholders have lost vast sums of money. In light of this, I request you not to take any fees and take back your claim. This is a moral and ethical issue and right thing to do. I am sure you are empathizing with shareholders. I also request you to find some equity for shareholders and not to wipe them out completely. All this will go long way in your favor in future.

I thank you for your understanding and service.

Sincerely,
