A Letter From Augusto Odone

February 19, 2004

Dear Friends of The Myelin Project,

As the inventor of Lorenzo’s Oil, I was awarded some time ago a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (No. 5,331,009). So far I have not received any royalties from Croda Chemicals Europe Ltd., the manufacturer of the oil—in fact, for the past 15 years, I have had to pay for the Oil for Lorenzo’s needs myself. Recently, however, I entered into an agreement with Croda under which they would pay a small royalty. To avoid any potential conflicts of interest, I directed Croda to pay the royalties to The Myelin Project. This agreement will stand for as long as I am President of The Myelin Project, after which the royalties would accrue to a trust I have established for the care of Lorenzo.

With warm regards,

Augusto Odone
