C O V E R L E T T E R Re: "Without Prejudice" TO WHOM IT CONCERNS: This letter is to inform you that I explicitly reject any and all benefits of the Uniform Commercial Code, absent a valid commercial agreement which is in force and to which I am a party. In prior written communications to your office, I have cited its provisions only to serve notice upon ALL agencies of government that they, and not I, are subject to, and bound by, all of its provisions, whether cited therein or not. My use of such terms as "without prejudice" and "with explicit reservation of all rights", on documents I have signed and sent to your office heretofore, does not and cannot be used to render any such document inadmissible in any court of law. Such an effect would work to defeat my lawful reservation of unalienable rights which guarantee my access to the Common Law, and to make it difficult if not impossible to effect such a reservation explicitly in any written document. The Uniform Commercial Code is complementary to the Common Law, which remains in force, except where displaced by the Code. A statute should be construed in harmony with the Common Law, unless there is a clear legislative intent to abrogate the Common Law. This means that, in my case, conflicts between the Common Law and the Code must be resolved in favor of the Common Law, and that the Code cannot be read to preclude a Common Law action. Moreover, the Code itself states that remedies must be liberally administered to the end that the aggrieved party may be put in as good a position as if the other party had fully performed. Moreover, unless displaced by particular provisions of the Code, the principles of law and equity, including the law relative to the capacity to contract, principal and agent, estoppel and fraud, misrepresentation, duress, coercion, mistake, bankruptcy, or other validating or invalidating cause shall supplement its provisions. Therefore, you are hereby placed on formal notice that I assert nunc pro tunc, from my date of birth, a fundamental and unalienable right to maintain administrative and judicial admissibility of any and all documents which I have executed "without prejudice" and "with explicit reservation of all my unalienable rights", so as to obviate trivial or unnecessary controversies at law and to minimize further damage to my rights. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely yours, /s/ John E. Trumane John E. Trumane, Sui Juris Citizen of one of the United States of America # # #
