    <p>March 14, 2005<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By FEDEX</strong> </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.<br>

    <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 <a href="/">www.justiceatwhatprice.com</a> 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>

      Worcester, MA 01605-1321 (508) 868-0167 (cell)<br>
