Dear AmeriNet Group.com Board of Directors:

On May 6, 2000 i was nominated  and accepted the position of Vice  President and
Chief  Operating  Officer  for the  corporation.  Shortly  thereafter,  upon the
resignation  of Mr.  Michael  Jordan as  President,  I was  asked to assume  the
position  of Acting  President  and Chief  operating  Officer.  I accepted  this
position  with   reservation   since  my  background  and  experience  were  not
commensurate  with  the  responsibilities  of this  type  position  in a  public
corporation.  My main concern stemmed from my lack of knowledge  relating to SEC
rules and regulations,  and the possibility i could potentially make errors that
would  reflect  negatively  upon the  corporation.  I had further  concern  that
representations  made by me,  stemming  from the  signing of the vast  number of
documents  and press  releases  required  of this  office  could  jeopardize  me
personally if I were to make a statement or if there were an unintentional error
or oversight  on my part.  While I have tried to the best of my ability to carry
out the duties of this office, and to the best of my knowledge have not made any
of the errors or  omissions,  I find that it is in my best  interest  and in the
interest of the corporation,  that I resign my position as President.  It should
be  further  noted,   that  the  increased   workload   pressures  dealing  with
subsidiaries  and  merger  activities,  for  which I am best  suited,  consume a
significant amount of my time that takes away from my duties as president of the
corporation.

If it so please the Board,  I am very  interested  in serving  the balance of my
employment  contract  in the  capacity  of Vice  President  and Chief  Operating
Officer,  the  position  for  which  I was  originally  engaged.  I  believe  my
operational  background and expertise are an excellent  match for this position.
Additionally,  I believe I have  meritoriously  demonstrated  my capabilities in
this capacity since joining the company.

I will agree to continue as Acting President until November 15, 2000, to provide
you with the ample  time to find a suitable  replacement.  I have  enjoyed  this
relationship, and look forward to continuing same as aforementioned.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Lawrence R. Van Etten

To all:

I respectfully withdraw my resignation as acting President. I will stay on Board

mergers and ample time is allotted to find a suitable person as a replacement on
a permanent basis.

Concerning Mr. David  Cantley,  he will be leaving his position as CFO effective

This will be proposed at the next meeting.

Thank you
