                for this
                Severance Payment, or, in the event not
                yet paid, shall no longer be entitled to this Severance
                Payment.

    Ladies

    Reference
      is made to the letter agreement dated November 29, 2006 (the 'Letter
      Agreement") among Language Access Network, Inc. CIAN"), Healinc, LLC, Eliane
      Uscher, individually, and Dr. Stanley Schoenbach, individually, concerning
      the
      contemplated acquisition by LAN of Healinc Telecom LLC ("HT").

    

    As
      you
      are aware, in the process of its due diligence investigation of HT, LAN
      discovered a dramatic increase in HT's accounts payable balance from that which
      was initially disclosed to LAN. LAN is not interested in acquiring HT with
      these
      additional liabilities outstanding, and it understands that HT is not in a
      position to reduce the balance back to the level originally disclosed.
      Therefore, in light of this impasse, and in accordance
      with Section 6(b) of the Letter Agreement, LAN hereby notifies you that it
      is
      not
      satisfied with its due diligence investigation of HT and has decided not to
      proceed with the contemplated acquisition.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    If
      you
      have any questions or concerns, please contact the undersigned
      immediately.

     

    Sincerely,
