>>> Dear Bradford Members
>>>
>>> GREETINGS
>>> I extend my warmest and most heartfelt
>>> greetings to all. No one knows better than me
>>> the trials and tribulation of the past several
>>> months. I realize that many of you have been
>>> experiencing difficulties as well. Please
>>> understand that I have felt your pain and
>>> wished a thousand times that I could change
>>> things and take it away. But it appears that
>>> this was a necessary time of hardship for all
>>> of us. It is not how we live when times are
>>> easy that moulds our character, but how we
>>> perform when times are hard. Strength comes
>>> from stretching the soul and remaining faithful
>>> and stalwart in the face of events and people
>>> who would destroy us.
>>>
>>> Many of you have been critical about the lack
>>> of communication. I understand. Now my request
>>> is that you try to understand how difficult
>>> these past couple of months have been for me
>>> and the Bradford Team. Most likely you will
>>> never truly realize what it is like to come
>>> under the scrutiny and review we have
>>> experienced. And, it is doubtful that any of
>>> you have even the smallest perception of the
>>> great strides we have made in securing a
>>> stronger and more viable status in the
>>> financial world. Somehow it is a bit
>>> paradoxical that many of you have been so quick
>>> to complain yet so willing to benefit from the
>>> fruits of our labors and triumphs. Unjust as
>>> this may be in some cases, it is still the
>>> fundamental goal and mission of the Bradford
>>> Group to be a source of hope and help for the
>>> “little guy” and those struggling.
>>> Unfortunately, the reality of this recent
>>> financial global crisis has limited our ability
>>> to perform as we planned and wished to achieve
>>> to serve this goal.
>>>
>>> While the world economy seems to be getting
>>> better, a little. The international financial
>>> and investment industry is still experiencing
>>> the toughest challenge of this decade. It is
>>> different from the last global financial down
>>> turn of 1997 where there were still some
>>> regions in the world which were able to remain
>>> unaffected. The strongest of these were later
>>> able participate in assisting with the global
>>> restructuring effort and to restore balance in
>>> world wealth. This effort can be seen through
>>> the many rescue activities of the World Bank,
>>> the I. M. F., and adjustments in, or reform of,
>>> government policies. It has been almost 5
>>> years from that time. The world has not fully
>>> recovered from its previous scars and now is
>>> getting another deep cut from the effects of
>>> the Sept. 11th event. This time, the down side
>>> of this effect has hit directly into each
>>> individual's welfare and pocket. No one, no
>>> program, no industry, no country seems capable
>>> to escape the severe financial damage of this
>>> world war like crisis.
>>>
>>> The management team of the BFG has tried very
>>> hard with more than what we can say is the best
>>> of our effort. We had gone way beyond the edge
>>> trying to keep the program going so we could
>>> still make payments to our members. I
>>> constantly reminded my associates and my staff
>>> members to bite our tongues, swallow our pain,
>>> and endure days of sleepless and pressure just
>>> to concentrate on working to untie all the
>>> knots that create obstacles for our work. Once
>>> knot after another was untied with a very
>>> costly effort. But, no sooner did we get our
>>> feet back on steady ground after one crisis,
>>> then something else would happen beyond our
>>> expectation. All previous familiar stories are
>>> not the same anymore. The global investment
>>> and international wire tranfers are no longer
>>> allowed for operation with the ease and freedom
>>> we had come to know. No longer could we count
>>> on things happening within their own
>>> pre-arranged time frame. Rather we are now
>>> under rigid new compliance requirements of a
>>> new monitoring system either implied or clearly
>>> stated in writing. There are so many outside
>>> forces and factors involved that make it so
>>> things do not happening the way it they used
>>> to. There's not a single genius or system that
>>> is capable to control all the facts and
>>> guarantee that the resulting outcome will be
>>> 100% as it was originally planned. With no
>>> exception, we had shared the same bitter pain
>>> of this result with the rest of the industry.
>>>
>>> Thus, promises to members could not be met.
>>> Disappointment and complaints had arisen from
>>> everywhere. In the past few days, I have taken
>>> the time to read many of your unanswered
>>> letters to us. Jenny and Peter know how much I
>>> love to communicate with each one of you in a
>>> very personal manner so they saved these couple
>>> hundred letters in a big file for my review
>>> whenever it is possible. Some dated back to
>>> Oct. and some just arrived few days ago.
>>> Please forgive me for not being able to write
>>> back to each one of you and accept this letter
>>> as
>>> my reply to you all. I'm asking you to put
>>> yourself in my situation so you may understand
>>> the hardships that the management team of BFG
>>> and myself have gone through. Everyone
>>> understands communication is important but
>>> since we don't even have time enough to sleep,
>>> it can't even be done. All efforts in the past
>>> few months have been devoted to work and find
>>> ways to make payments to you.
>>>
>>> Since Sunday night, I spend many hours through
>>> the nights reading your emails. Lots of time I
>>> could not stop myself from tears when reading
>>> many of your touching words. It meant so much
>>> to us to receive your kind words of
>>> encouragement for us to continue our job
>>> through this challenge. Other times, I sadly
>>> shared with you your disappointment in us when
>>> your payment didn't arrive as expected.
>>> Needless to say, your frustration of this delay
>>> is the same as our frustration with the delay
>>> from the international financial system at the
>>> top level. However,
>>> I don't blame you since I understand that in
>>> this industry when delays or trouble happen, we
>>> have to work at the situation with our best
>>> effort of co-operation to resolve the case.
>>> But for the individual member who has not had
>>> thorough understanding of either the situation
>>> or the industry, it is hard not to get nervous
>>> or have doubts in the genuine intention of the
>>> management team. More than anybody else, we
>>> understand our standing in the industry and the
>>> difference between being a serious participant
>>> of the system and the amateur player. While
>>> causing a great amount of damage to our
>>> business and activities, in long run this
>>> global crisis may provide a positive support to
>>> our long term success by creating new
>>> opportunities for professional people like our
>>> team since this current condition will not
>>> allow “pretend to be” experts or participants
>>> to last or exist much longer.
>>>
>>> But at this moment, it may be best to give you
>>> back the freedom of choice for finding the
>>> place you want to be or placing your funds. I
>>> don't want to be accused later by any of you
>>> for taking away your opportunity to participate
>>> in some internet programs that you truly
>>> believe as the most genuine, effective and
>>> integrity programs. This home of Bradford is
>>> designed for only people who want to be here
>>> and who are willing to take part in building
>>> this home. Of course, no home can be built
>>> without going through good and hard days of
>>> testing and working.
>>>
>>> After giving it a very deep thought, I came to
>>> the conclusion of closing the BFG for good and
>>> make refunds to all members. At the same time,
>>> we continue to make payments to a number of
>>> members as explain later in this letter.
>>>
>>> By closing the BFG, we have a choice. We can
>>> simply choose the option of a settlement with
>>> members through the process of refunding the
>>> full deposit amount plus the promised
>>> guaranteed 10% of return profit. The legal
>>> process allows us to make partial payments or
>>> settle down with a mutual agreed amount based
>>> on the actual ability of the BFG. This final
>>> amount could be less than the original deposit
>>> or the balance of original deposit by
>>> subtracting all the received profit plus the
>>> overall 10% profit. For example: Suppose your
>>> original deposit was $5500.00, you have
>>> received 3 payouts for $1,100.00 each for the
>>> total of $3,300.00. The refund amount could be
>>> calculated as follows: $5,500.00 - $3,300.00 =
>>> $2,200; plus 10% profit: $2,200.00 + $550 =
>>> $2,750.00
>>>
>>> As you all probably know very well, our
>>> reserved fund was dried out couple months ago
>>> due to long delays of payments from many of our
>>> investment projects. This is the time for you
>>> to understand the truth that all payments that
>>> you received recently either came from a small
>>> portion of our expected profit that was
>>> released to us while the rest is still on
>>> pending, or for the most part from the personal
>>> contribution of every single member of this
>>> Bradford Management team. We scraped all of
>>> our resources together including funds from our
>>> personal assets and business accounts to
>>> generate cash for making payments to you.
>>> Those who are close to us know clearly how we
>>> had gone through with much personal sacrifice.
>>> I am not talking about it here to get your
>>> sympathy for anything that may worsen the
>>> situation or make our wounds deeper, but I am
>>> seriously sharing with you the reality of the
>>> existing problem that we are now facing.
>>>
>>> I have seen in the last few years how many
>>> companies had come and gone, some even without
>>> saying good bye. Many of them are nothing but
>>> scams, but some of them were run by good people
>>> with serious intentions but unfortunately could
>>> not hold on to it due to the fact that they
>>> were either not in the real investment industry
>>> or ran into misfortune from the top. There
>>> are more than a dozen programs that have closed
>>> in the last two months for various reasons
>>> similar to what I said above. Members or
>>> clients' money are gone or waiting for refund
>>> through a settlement effort later on if the
>>> owner is willing to do so. In any case, if you
>>> participated, your funds are at risk. The
>>> threat and law suit, if takes effect, will
>>> result in a very tiresome and costly long term
>>> process without much hope of full recovery of
>>> your funds.
>>>
>>> In our home of Bradford, where the philosophy
>>> to provide our little guys a better opportunity
>>> in life is the main blood stream of the group
>>> activities. Understanding the fact that most
>>> of you have been in the above mentioned
>>> situation, and given the tough times that we
>>> all have gone through at the BFG, I have
>>> decided to give back the refund of your deposit
>>> in full amount as the original deposit WITHOUT
>>> deducting your previous received profit.
>>>
>>> Since the time we received your deposit till
>>> the refund time everyone should receive no less
>>> than your full refund back plus the minimum of
>>> 10% profit.
>>>
>>> Just take a moment to compare us with other
>>> programs and be honest with yourselves. Have
>>> we done much more than many other program
>>> owners had treated you? If so, understand that
>>> you are the answer for this special effort from
>>> the management team. Regardless the fact that
>>> there is much disappointment and complaining;
>>> the last few months have shown us the true
>>> value of many BFG members that proudly reflects
>>> our beautiful philosophy. We have united
>>> together to fight this challenge, everyone of
>>> us has made a painful sacrifice on our part to
>>> keep the program up to this day. As members,
>>> your patience, understanding and support are
>>> understood and appreciated. As leaders, I will
>>> lead the management team to continue our
>>> mission in serving our little guys and in the
>>> long run you will find that your faith and
>>> trust in us will not be let down.
>>>
>>> In the next 2 weeks, every member will receive
>>> by e-mail a “SETTLEMENT and RELEASE” form that
>>> you need to review and sign to get the refund
>>> of your deposit back. Those who have not
>>> received any profit from us before will enjoy
>>> an additional minimum 10% profit from your
>>> total deposit. All detailed instruction will be
>>> provided for you to accomplish this step before
>>> faxing this form back to us. Upon receipt of
>>> the signed form, we will start processing the
>>> refund procedure to your account. There is no
>>> need to send special request for refund to us
>>> now, since all BFG members will receive their
>>> refund.
>>>
>>> THE BEST EFFORT OF OUR PERFORMANCE & INTEGRITY:
>>>
>>> Now as the BFG is officially closed with the
>>> offer from the management team for a settlement
>>> with full refund of deposit. Without taking
>>> away your previously received profit plus our
>>> promise to cover the minimum 10% profit for
>>> every member, this offer is considered by all
>>> legal consultants as a most generous offer. In
>>> fact, it is not quite a settlement since we do
>>> not run away with your money, but rather it
>>> should be considered as a gift or favorable
>>> resolution from the BFG management team for the
>>> best interest of our loyal members especially
>>> in this crisis time.
>>>
>>> Hopefully, this decision will free you from
>>> your worry of the possibility of losing your
>>> principal deposit plus giving back to you the
>>> choice to find the best opportunity for the
>>> betterment of your life. As you know, all we
>>> can do is all we can do. However, together we
>>> had sailed this ship with an outstanding effort
>>> and performance which is way beyond whatever an
>>> ordinary group would be able to make or go
>>> through. You have shown your faith and support
>>> to us through the fact that you still hang in
>>> here with us up to this point, why should we
>>> just shut the door and leave you in the cold
>>> without assisting and guiding you to the next
>>> and better future through steps that may be
>>> done. To materialize this genuine and sincere
>>> intention to reality, I have decided to
>>> continue working on our part after the closing
>>> of BFG to generate more cash fund so we will
>>> still be able to share some of our profit to
>>> our exclusive, privilege and loyal members in
>>> the future.
>>>
>>> Many of your letters that I just read in the
>>> last few days had expressed clearly your
>>> understanding of the situation and our effort
>>> plus giving us the credit of being “MORE THAN
>>> FAIR & GENEROUS”. We deeply thank you from the
>>> bottom of our hearts for this thoughtfulness,
>>> caring and understanding. As the leader of
>>> the team, I would like to reassure you that
>>> regardless of the fact that the BFG is now
>>> closing, the philosophy of the team is to be
>>> carried on by you and by the management team.
>>> It's not worth it just to say, but only to
>>> prove through action. We shall show you how we
>>> carry on and practice what we preach not only
>>> in words but in the result of our future
>>> performance.
>>>
>>> At this time it might be useful to remind us
>>> all why we started The Bradford Group in the
>>> first place. The Bradford Group was designed
>>> to give an extraordinary opportunity to
>>> ordinary people who were (are) sincerely
>>> seeking something better in life. The part that
>>> most individuals cannot seem to grasp is that
>>> in order to have a better life, you must first
>>> build yourself and then serve and help others.
>>> What you become is far more important that what
>>> you have. If you are looking to a program to
>>> pay the rent or buy the groceries, you have not
>>> caught the vision at all. We are not here so
>>> you can be on Bradford welfare roles. We are
>>> here so you can make something of the future
>>> and help make the world a better place.
>>>
>>> Next, probably this is what you have been
>>> waiting for to know when do you get your funds
>>> back and what will come first. Recently, I
>>> received a great advice from one of our
>>> Affiliate Manager, Mr. Kevin Straub. He
>>> suggested the BFG management team should apply
>>> our policy to pay members who have received
>>> little or no profit to this point. Thus, it
>>> should be our first priority to pay members of
>>> the Sept. program, and the Oct. Triple program
>>> besides members of Short Term-High Return as we
>>> decided earlier. Members of monthly programs,
>>> who had received a good amount of profit from
>>> previous payouts should yield the priority for
>>> refund to those who has less or none payment to
>>> date.
>>>
>>> The following information is provided to detail
>>> the order of priority that will be followed for
>>> resolving the outstanding commitments. Your
>>> cooperation, understanding and helpful
>>> participation is of the utmost importance.
>>>
>>> 1. SHORT TERM-HIGH RETURN PROGRAM W/ OCT.
>>> 15/2001 MATURITY DATE:
>>> _First priority for refund plus an additional

>>>
>>> 2. SHORT TERM-HIGH RETURN PROGRAM W/ JAN.
>>> 15/2001 MATURITY DATE:
>>> _Second priority for refund plus an additional
>>> portion of profit.
>>>
>>> 3. SEPTEMBER PROGRAM & OCT. TRIPLE:
>>> _Third priority for refund plus an additional
>>> portion of profit.
>>>
>>> 4. MONTHLY PAYOUT PROGRAM W/ NONE or BEFORE
>>> OCT. MISSING PAYOUTS.
>>> _All of these accounts will be taken into
>>> review and paid for missing payouts plus their
>>> refund as the fourth priority.
>>>
>>> 5. AFFILIATE MANAGERS' PROGRAM:
>>> All of these loans will be handled with the
>>> same policy and format with each individual
>>> manager. Please check with your manager for

>>>
>>> ***Attention: There are some members who have
