EX-17 3 exhibitsixa.txt STRUTHERS LETTER OF RESIGNATION EXHIBIT 6(a) November 17, 2001 Board of Directors Hot products Inc.com 7625 E. Redfield Road Suite 200 Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 Via Certified Mail and Facsimile Dear Sirs and madam, Effective today, November 17, 2001, I Gregory L. Struthers hereby resign my position as a member of the Board of Directors of Hot Products Inc.com, (HPIC) I further resign my positions as a Director of any and all of the Company's subsidiaries. Effective today, November 17, 2001, I resign my position as Executive Vice president of Hot Products Inc.com and my positions as Vice President, Hot Products.Inc.com NUON Peripherals Division. Attached to this letter is a copy of an e-mail from Mr. James I. Copland, Chairman of The Board of HPIC, Mr. John Madsen of International Global Positioning Inc., dated Wednesday, October 17, 2001, whereby in my opinion Mr. Copland encouraged Mr. Madsen to enlist International Global Positioning Inc.'s shareholders to unlawfully manipulate the share price of HPIC's stock. (Reference points (1) and (2) in Mr. Copland' e-mail). Further to this, I believe Mr. Copland's actions undermined HPIC's proposed Merger with IGP, and made it impossible to be successfully concluded. I would strongly recommend that the Members of the Board of Directors of HPIC to investigate these matters and take appropriate action in the best interests of HPIC's Shareholders. Based upon Mr. Copland's actions, which I believe to be not only unethical but quite probably in violation of SEC Rules and Regulations, I will no longer remain associated with him nor the Company he is Chairman of. Sincerely, /s/ Greg L. Struthers --------------------- 11/17/01 Gregory L. Struthers CC. Mr. James L.
