Hello,

A few months ago we discovered that a person claiming to be a recruiter was actually setting up a new job board, and had taken several thousand resumes from the Medzilla site.

We then learned that he had similarly taken thousands of resumes from other biotech related job boards, several of which have also initiated action against him.

On October 15th Medzilla, Inc filed a lawsuit against Jason Monastra and his company “Optimum Intelligence” (biotechcareers.com) in the Federal District court.

The lawsuit alleges fraud, copyright infringement, and breach of contract.

A restraining order imposing injunctive relief was obtained on November 1 st .

We value our business relationships with your firm as clients, and felt that you should be aware of the above.

Sincerely,

Frank Heasley Ph.D.

President, CEO

Medzilla. Inc.
