Dear Mr. Riedler:

On behalf of CIGNA Corporation, please be advised that we did not receive your letter dated May 10, 2010 addressed to the undersigned until today, June 14, 2010, and so we were unable to respond within the ten business days requested in the letter.  We believe this may have been due to some confusion regarding the Company’s facsimile number and so we respectfully request that any future facsimile correspondence be sent to (215) 761-3596.  We expect to provide you a response on or before July 1, 2010.  If you would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me at (215) 761-1170 or my colleagues Lindsay Blackwood at (215) 761-1028 or Thi Phan at (215) 761-6230.

	Sincerely yours,
	/s/ Mary T. Hoeltzel
