Dear Mr. Collins:

In accordance with our recent telephone conversation, I enclose the following items:

Sample Employment Agreement


Blank Schedule D
Wright Policy Conceming Personal Securities Transactions (Code of Ethics)
Form ADV. October 1995 ,

Outlined below are two approaches to establishing a new relationship agreement with your
client Either approach would necessitate adherence to Wright's Code of Ethics and the filing of
Schedule D ,

A. Employee/Solicitor
Employees who are solicitors are required to adhere to our Code of Ethics, enter
into a written contract with Wright and to complete a Schedule D. The sample contract is based
on the one Wright nOW has with your client. One main difference is that disclosure does not have
to be written, nor does it have to specify the compensation. (please note that this form of
agreement has not been reviewed or approved by any of Wright's executive officers. I drafted it
just to give you some idea of what I would suggest to the proper officers here.) This agreement
would still be part of the records mandated for investment advisors and would.therefore, be
subject to inspection by the SEC.
Schedule D is made a part of our Form ADV, which would be filed be the SEC and the
State Department of Law .

B. Part-time Employee
Employees who sol icit and service clients are still subject to the Code of Ethics
and must complete a Schedule D, which is filed with federal and state authorities. However,
there need not be a written employment contract, although I believe the compensation
arrangement should, be memorialized . In any case, if we structure the relationship as a true,
albeit part-time, solicitation and s ervice employment relationship, there is no need for it to be
kept in our "SEC Files."

Al Merie, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing, favors the latter approach. If
your client agrees, you and 1 can work out acceptable ways of satisfying some of the usual
indicia of employee status (W-2, business card, assigned office space here, training, activity
reports, etc.) without unduly burdening either party .

I have enclosed our most recent ADV,just to give you the "flavor'lof the filing.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Very truly yours,
