      <p><strong>&#8220;Correspondence to Attorney General Reilly&#8221;</strong></p>
      <p>March 14, 2005 </p>
      <p>By FEDEX</p>
      <p>The Honorable Thomas Reilly<br>
        Attorney General<br>
        Commonwealth of Massachusetts<br>
        One Ashburton Place<br>
        Boston, MA 02108</p>
      <p>Dear Attorney General Reilly;</p>
      <p>Re: Philip G. Haddad, Jr. Funeral Director #5300</p>
      <p><strong>I herewith request an independent investigation into allegations, 
        accusations, actions taken, and actions not taken, the willful and intentional 
        withholding of evidence and documentation by the Board of Registration 
        in Funeral Service and the Division of Professional Licensure (knowing 
        full well how damaging it was to their case and the conspiracy the State 
        Board in Funeral Service has become a party to), the abuse of its power 
        resulting in actions that have adversely impacted a Community (specifically 
        the Eastern Orthodox Community of Central Massachusetts representative 
        of more than 24,000 parishioners), becoming a pawn of one or more local 
        funeral directors in their vicious attempts at character assassination 
        of one in their own profession for their own personal gain, and intentionally 
        delaying the show cause hearing until one of their own &#8211; the Chairperson 
        &#8211; John J. Kazlauskas &#8211; a central figure and perpetrator in 
        the case died on Friday, March 4, 2005. (Order to Show Cause was issued 
        on June 29, 2004 &#8211; 9 months ago).</strong></p>
      <p>I have assembled a chronology of documents, tapes, transcriptions, and 
        correspondence to and from the State Board in Funeral Service and the 
        Division of Professional Licensure to support an independent investigation, 
        which we believe to be nothing less than a colossal conspiracy on behalf 
        of ALL members of the State Board in Funeral Service and its investigative 
        division and staff.</p>
      <p>For more than fifteen (15) months, the Eastern Orthodox Community of 
        Central Massachusetts has been deprived of the services of the ONLY Eastern 
        Orthodox Funeral Director in Central Massachusetts; due to the lack of 
        fairness and justice during this &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; on behalf of 
        others in the industry with ulterior motives. The disaster stories Eastern 
        Orthodox Families now live with as a result of a death in their family 
        during this period and no one proficient in the funeral traditions in 
        the Eastern Orthodox Church to adequately serve them will live forever 
        as a result of the actions and lack thereof by the directors with personal 
        agendas. The State Board in the person of its Chairman and investigator 
        (in addition to All members of the State Board of Funeral Service) used 
        and abused the power of their office clearly demonstrating bias, prejudice, 
        and lacking any sense of fairness and justice in positions wherein these 
        characteristics are essential in order to serve in the positions they 
        hold or held.</p>

      <p>Inasmuch as I have not heard back from Ms. Lindstrom and have only a 
        courtesy response from Governor Romney (copies attached), I seek not only 
        an immediate and impartial investigation into the process and actions 
        taken by the State Board in Funeral Service, but also request that the 
        Show Cause Hearing (if it ever comes to this point) be held in Worcester 
        <strong>within 30 days</strong> before an impartial administrative entity 
        that has NO association with the State Board in Funeral Service of the 
        Division of Professional Licensure.</p>
      <p>For your information and as a result of virtually no cooperation from 
        the State Board and Division of Professional Licensure, I have created 
        the web site <strong>www.justiceatwhatprice.com</strong> and intend to 
        put all pertinent data on the site and to market the web site to the public 
        and media in the event fairness and justice are not brought into the process 
        and soon.</p>
      <p>Attorney General Reilly, your reputation for fairness and justice is 
        well known. I come to you for nothing more as does the Eastern Orthodox 
        Community of Central Massachusetts; which until now has been quiet and 
        reserved at my bequest until our investigation was complete. Our investigation 
        is now complete and the colossal conspiracy, as well as ALL the facts, 
        are screaming to be heard.</p>
      <p>I ask that you listen. I ask that you initiate an impartial investigation 
        into the Board of Registration in Funeral Service and the Division of 
        Professional Licensure regarding Philip G. Haddad, Jr.; License number 
        5300 and complaints filed by Mrs. Mangsen (Nordgren Memorial Chapel) EM-04-124, 
        EM-04-125, and EM-04-184 to include actions taken and lack of timely action 
        by THE BOARD and DIVIDION of PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE.</p>
      <p>I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.</p>
      <p>Best regards,</p>
      <p>Signed</p>
      <p>Philip G. Haddad, Jr. (508) 852-0094 (residence)<br>
        9 Kenwood Avenue (508) 836-2600 (days)<br>
        Worcester, MA 01605-1321 (508) 868-0167 (cell)</p>
      <p>c.c. The Honorable Mitt Romney, <br>
        Governor, Commonwealth of Massachusetts</p>
      <p>The Honorable Kerry Healey, <br>
        Lt. Governor, Commonwealth of Massachusetts</p>

    <p><strong>Update - April 25, 2005 - will include a chronology of events and 
      correspondence leading up to &amp; through actions taken by and on behalf 
      of funeral directors and members of the State Board in Funeral Service, 
      Commonwealth of Massachusetts &#8211; correspondence and copies of which 
      shall then be shared with local and national media. At that time, the names 
      of funeral directors, names of funeral homes, and copies of their statements 
      made shall be shared with you and the media.</strong></p>
    <p><strong>As I have stated in previous updates, character assassins rank 
      amongst the most vicious and evil beings on this earth. They MUST and WILL 
      BE held accountable for their statements and actions.</strong></p>
    <p>Till next time!</p>
