FRIZZELL UPDATE 01/04/06
Greetings Group Members and CMKX Shareholders,
I have received several requests from shareholders wanting some communication from the company. I have forwarded these requests to Mr. Stoecklein and Mr. Casavant. I understand your wishes to hear from the company and the company is aware of your wishes. I am hopeful a press release will be forthcoming in this regard.
We are fielding a large number of emails and phone calls from shareholders that are requesting verification that the Task Force has received copies of their certs. There are many reasons why some of you have not received verification through the email address you provided us. Some of the email addresses (handwritten) are not legible and some emails have come back to us. Some people omitted to give us an email address. Some certs have come in without the cover sheet. I am sure our input staff may have missed a few themselves. To help with this problem, we have now set up a new email address to assist you. We have appointed particular staff members to monitor this address on an hourly basis for the sole purpose of investigating the problem that has prevented you from getting verification from us. The new address is certconfirmation@cmkmtaskforce.com . If you will send an email to this address, we will try to get back to you in 48 hours or less with an email response. If you do not get a reasonably quick response, simply email us again. Your emails will not be deleted until an inquiry has been done on your holdings.
I have received communications from several shareholders regarding new excuses by some brokers for failing to give you your certs. We have been provided with a form letter that Fidelity is using which says they cannot distribute your stock from certain retirement accounts or IRA accounts. As you know by now, there have been other brokerage houses that have filled out the cover sheet and sent to us copies of their customer’s certs and we have inputted the certs into our list. We do not need physical possession of the cert, but we do need to receive a copy of the cert which shows the cert to be validly issued by the transfer agent. We can verify your holdings once we have received this information. One shareholder told this office that a Fidelity representative said the company has been in contact with the Task Force and the Task Force has agreed to accept a letter from Fidelity assuring you of your holdings. There is absolutely no truth to this statement by the Fidelity representative. We have been directed by the company to confirm your holdings only by proof of a valid cert issued by the transfer agent. Neither myself, nor Bob Maheu or Don Stoecklein, have had any communications with Fidelity. Feel free to have any Fidelity rep call me directly to discuss this matter. We are working up a letter from the Task Force to respond to such suggestions.
Onward,
Bill
