8/5/99 Starbucks Coffee Company Orin Smith-President 2401 Utah Ave. South Seattle, WA 98134 Dear Orin Smith My history with Starbucks Coffee Comany, to say the least, has not been a very happy one. The continuing press coverage of my Starbucks experience is part of several future projects that go in directions of consumer advocacy building in ways consistent with my public statements. All opportunities should have the benefit of resolve and if we can agree to some kind of resolution, we both can move on to other things. The ideas of a run-a-way shelter and selling my book through Starbucks were both unacceptable solutions to you, though I thought them to be constructive resolutions. If you are interested in speaking to me about some way to resolve this, then please contact me within a reasonable period of time. Sincerely, [signed] Jeremy L. Dorosin
