Letter of Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern;

Stratpharma, Inc. is being restructured due to financial constraints and lower than expected sales. This is a global restructuring and will affect our operations in the USA, Australia, and the EU. As a result, several USA based positions have been dissolved, merged and or eliminated. We be- lieve the consolidation will lead to significant savings, a more robust company structure and better bottom line performance for Stratpharma Inc. and Stratpharma AG as the parent company.

With this new direction and consolidation, we will devote financial resources only to those projects that best satisfy our worldwide, long-term and short-range objectives for profitability.

Amanda Hostraswer has been a consummate professional and highly driven during her time with Stratpharma. I know that Amanda will perform well in future positions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and should you need a reference for future roles. My Very Best,

James Kone Jr.

Executive VP of Sales and Business Development
