VIA REGULAR INTERNATIONAL MAIL
May 18, 2004
Mr. Johnson Smith, Representative
Providence Group, Inc.
Suite 618
620 - 5th Avenue
Beijing, China 100029
Dear Mr. Smith:
It was a pleasure for attorney Bai Lu and me to meet with you in our office on May
15, 2004 and again on May 16, 2004 to discuss your potential case against China
Eagle Co., Ltd. Please allow this letter to confirm our discussion.
Having considered all the information available to us at this time, we have reluctantly
concluded that we cannot represent you in this matter on a contingent-fee basis.
From our decision, you should not conclude that you do not have a cause of action.
Our decision not to represent you does not imply or express any advice about whether
you do or do not have a case. It only means that, in our opinion, any likely recovery
in this case would not justify the time and resources we would have to invest to obtain
it.
It is possible that another lawyer or law firm would feel differently and would be
willing to undertake this matter on a contingent-fee basis.
Because the law imposes certain time limits on when claims and suits may be filed
(”statutes of limitation”), your right to file a claim or suit will expire with the passage
of time. Subject to a few exceptions, lawsuits for libel and slander in China will
usually be barred if not filed within two years of the incident. Suits for other causes
of action in China may have longer statutes of limitation. You should not delay in
pursuing legal action if you intend to do so, because your claim or suit—no matter
what it is for—will be barred if not filed within the applicable statute of limitations for
that particular cause of action.
As I promised at our last meeting, I will send you a copy of anything I receive from
the government agency so that you can take the necessary steps to protect your rights
in that regard. We wish you every success in the future. Please don’t hesitate to
call if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Zhang, Wang & Lee, L.L.P.
