Re: American Diversified Group, Inc.
Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentlemen:
I have been requested by American Diversified Group, Inc. (the
"Registrant") to furnish an opinion as to matters hereinafter set forth in
connection with the post-effective amendment no. 1 to the registration statement
on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Act"), covering
a total of 31,000,000 shares of common stock, which shares are being issued for
services to the Company by its consultants, officer- directors, and the
undersigned.
In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the filings of the
Registrant incorporated by reference in this post-effective amendment no. 2 to
the registration statement, and have determined that the Registrant is current
in its reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934. I have
further determined that the shares have been legally issued, and are fully paid
and non-assessable shares of the Registrant. Further, the Registrant has duly
authorized the issuance of the shares and the filing of this post-effective
amendment no. 2 to the registration statement on Form S-8 under the Act.
I hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion in the post-effective
amendment no. 2 to the registration statement on Form S-8 being duly filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Thomas J. Craft, Esq.
