Dear Cameron:

As we discussed early last month, I hereby resign as a member of the Board of
Directors of FutureLink Distribution Corp., including any and all subsidiaries
and affiliate companies thereof, effective immediately.

As I mentioned, my reasons for this are personal and well considered. For the
balance of the year, I expect that my work for other companies will prevent me
from devoting the time necessary for me to properly carry out my
responsibilities as a director.

I have enjoyed working with you over the past year and please let me know if
there is anything further I can do for you, the company, its Board or its
management. Thank you.

Best regards,

[signed: Robert H. Kohn]




Cameron Chell 
Chairman of the Board
