Dear Ms. Schuerch,

We are in receipt of Lexington's September 22, 1987 first notice of an asbestos exposure on the captioned matter. A copy is enclosed.

Metropolitan Reinsurance Company's acceptance of this risk was predicated upon a number of conditions including an asbestos exclusion. Therefore, we must decline reinsurance coverage for this matter.

Should you or Lexington's claim department have any questions or wish to discuss this matter, please contact me.

Very truly yours,

George M. Jopes
