Scott, see attached transfer of the oil lease from our family ranch previously held in the name of Quest purportedly
transferred to an entity named _ ADVANTA IRA TRUST LLC, FBO DENNIS SMITH dated for April 1 2013. Not only is
this transfer contrary to the terms of our family's lease with Quest, but I thought if might be contrary to TRO's and
Injunctions filed in your action styled below, wherein you've added Quest as a Relief Defendant.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me....John

Subj: Oil Lease
I went by the courthouse today and found documentation of an assignment of our oil lease by quest to an entity
named _ ADVANTA IRA TRUST LLC, FBO DENNIS SMITH dated for April 1 2013. This would be prior to being
included in the receivership according to the dates on the documents sent by the receivership. This is in direct
violation of several clauses that state this cannot be done without our approval. Doing so terminates the lease. I
am attaching a copy of this assignment which should null the contract for breach prior to being included in the
receivership.
