          regarding the matter be directed to Mr. Huestis rather than to              
          the Thompsons.                                                              
               By letter dated March 17, 1986, Mr. Kersting complained to             
          Mr. Huestis about his "assertive approach" and said he would                
          continue to communicate directly with the Thompsons.  By letter             
          dated March 17, 1986, Mr. Kersting wrote to Mr. Thompson,                   
          confirmed that he would terminate Mr. Thompson's programs, and              
          inquired whether Mr. Thompson still had any stock certificates              
          issued in connection with his participation in Kersting programs.           
          Mr. Kersting's letter also states that Mr. Thompson would incur             
          tax liability for capital gains that would be realized upon the             
          termination of his accounts in the Kersting programs.                       
               On March 21, 1986, Mr. Huestis again wrote to Mr. Kersting,            
          stating that the Thompsons were disappointed with Mr. Kersting's            
          failure to respond to their requests or to assist them with the             
          tax problems arising from their participation in his programs.              
          By letter to the Thompsons dated March 25, 1986, Mr. Kersting               
          confirmed that he would liquidate their investments, as discussed           
          with Mr. Thompson in a recent telephone conversation.                       
          Mr. Kersting requested that Mr. Thompson endorse all relevant               
          stock certificates and return them to Mr. Kersting so that the              
          proceeds from the sale of stock represented by such certificates            
          could be used to retire Mr. Thompson's debts to Kersting                    
          companies.                                                                  
               By letter dated March 31, 1986, Mr. Kersting wrote to                  
          Mr. Thompson and admitted that he was having difficulty
