Free Geek Community Technology Centre

Attention: Mr. David Repa, Start-up Coordinator

Re: Letter of Intent to move forward discussions that will provide a
long term processing agreement for your organization.

Dear Sir;

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me yesterday on rather
short notice. It was a pleasure to talk with others who share our
vision of strong communities built through a commitment to excellence
and transparency in every aspect of their business model. I would like
to provide you with an overview of our company, which should confirm
our goals and objectives and how they will mesh well in concert with
Free Geek.

Our mission statement is a simple one "36Zerowaste Group Inc. provides
ethical, socially responsible and innovative solutions to the
recycling of e-waste globally".

Drawing on our team's experience, the resources at our disposal, and
the expertise of others, we strive to provide our clients with the
best possible solutions to their waste management and recycling
issues.

With environmental stewardship as the cornerstone of our organization
we strive to provide all within our circle of influence with the tools
to impact our world in a positive way.

36 Zerowaste Group Inc. Business Model Description

36Zerowaste Group Inc. services include consulting on waste management
issues; industry based research, as well as recycling and reuse
initiatives.

We provide leadership in the development, design and organization of
facilities for the processing of electronic waste, plastics and other
materials. As processing technologies are developed and end markets
are established we will guide our partners through the process of
maximizing there processing revenues without compromising the
integrity of the organization. We have established a vendor
qualification program that allows us to select those downstream
processors that have a similar vision and commitment to environmental
stewardship. We will be part of the solution on the road to zero
waste.

Our facilities are efficient while at the same time contribute to the
social fabric of the communities they are located in.

This is done in part by providing employment opportunities to
individuals who are employment disadvantaged through physical and/or
mentally impairment.

An integral part of our customized program will provide in-depth job
training, as well as basic life skills where appropriate to the
individual employee.

36ZerowasteGroup Inc. was started when two of the founders, Bert
Monesmith and Monica Danon-Schaffer, realized an opportunity exists to
make use of their extensive skills and experience in the environmental
waste management and recycling fields.

Through their vision they brought together a team of like minded professionals.
This opportunity afforded all of the partners the means to accomplish
several specific personal goals, including:

-being part of the solution to worldwide environmental contamination
and its impact on global warming.

-providing socioeconomic growth locally as well as in developing nations.

-Be instrumental in providing personal growth initiatives for the employment
disadvantaged.

-Provide all levels of government, business and individuals an
environmentally friendly solution to the mounting problem of outdated
electronics.
