Re:       Issuance of compensatory shares of common stock of
          AlphaTrade.com Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
          "Company"), to William Pinkney and Katharine Johnston,
          to be registered on Form S-8 of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission

Dear Mr. Pinkney and Ms. Johnston :

          I represent the Company in connection with the foregoing and have
been engaged to prepare a Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the registration of the securities to be issued to
you under a written compensation agreement.

          I have prepared a brief Memorandum setting forth the types of
services that can and can not be rendered in exchange for S-8 shares, and have
enclosed a copy thereof for your review.

          Please review this Memorandum and advise me in writing of the
types of services you are to render, and please facsimile me a copy of this
Memorandum, with your typed comments (I cannot scan hand written notations for
an EDGAR filing), indicating, if applicable, that these prohibitions do not
relate to you or the services you are to render.  If you provide separate hand
written comments, I will be happy to have them typed on this Memorandum.
Your response should also include how you would like the securities to be
issued; i.e., to you individually or to associates or persons who are employed
by you and who assisted in the performance of the services rendered.

          I am also enclosing copies of the Company's Form 10-KSB Annual
Report for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the Form 10-QSB Quarterly
Reports for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2000.  I
understand that you have already received the compensation agreement, which
the Company has prepared.

          Thank you very much.

                              Yours very sincerely,

                              /s/ Branden T. Burningham

                              Branden T. Burningham
