Re:      Return Assured Incorporated - Registration Statement on Form S-3
         (File No. 333-62546) (the "Registration Statement")

Gentlemen:

         We are acting as counsel for Return Assured Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed sale by certain
selling stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") pursuant to the Registration
Statement of up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, of the
Company (the "Shares").

         We have examined such corporate records, certificates and other
documents as we have considered necessary for the purposes of this opinion. In
our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to any facts material
to our opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established,
relied upon the records, certificates and documents referred to above.

         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized, and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         We consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in
the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such
consent, we do not concede that we are within the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

                                           Very truly yours,




                                           Kaplan Gottbetter & Levenson, LLP
