I represented BioRolease Corp. in a matter which was concluded early last year. However, during our discussions regarding that matter, we conferred in regard to the claim US Benefit Trust. That Trust, created for the employees of US Staffing, Inc., claims to own seventy-four percent (74%) of Genesis Capital Corporation. Documents in the possession of US Benefit Trust show that Genesis Capital Corporation was a Colorado corporation. That company issued a majority of its outstanding common shares to US Benefit Trust, for which Genesis was fully paid. However, Genesis failed to recognize this ownership interest. Consequently, when Genesis Capital Corporation of Nevada and the Colorado corporation were merged, the ownership records of the Nevada corporation were severely distorted. A recent review of the activities and financial condition of Genesis Capital Corporation of Nevada indicate a diminution in the value of the company. This is lamentable. Nevertheless, US Benefit Trust wishes to pursue its claim. I have been retained by the Trust to assist it in recovering its ownership interest. I ask that you contact me at your earliest opportunity to discuss this matter. Please note my new address, telephone, and fax numbers. I hope we can reach a swift and amicable resolution of this dispute. I request that you, for obvious reasons, consider this letter to be a demand upon Genesis Capital Corporation of Nevada to recognize this ownership interest, and that it issue such documentation as necessary to reflect this. Alternatively, demand is made upon the company that US Benefit Trust be fully and adequately compensated for its damage as a result of the activities of the responsible parties. These damages will include attorney's fees and, if necessary, costs of courts. I thank you for your attention to this, and I remain Very truly yours, /s/ Robert B. Todd Robert B.
