Dear Sir / Madam:

Re: Betty Bopp Account

I am writing to provide notice to ScamU Energy of Ms. Betty Bopp’s intent to rescind her

contract with ScamU Energy pursuant to sections 88.9(10)(a) and 88.10(2) of the Ontario

Energy Board Act [OEBA].

As you are probably aware, the OEBA requires that a written copy of the contract be delivered to

Ms. Bopp within 40 days after signing. The OEBA further provides that the contract ceases if a

contract at any time within one year after the date she entered into it if the contract does not meet

the OEBA requirements. ScamU has failed to meet the requirements of the OEBA and

accordingly Ms. Bopp is rescinding the contract.

apartment on January 8, 2009.

Mr. Shameless influenced Ms. Bopp into signing the

“Registration Form” on that day. The OEBA required ScamU Energy to send Ms. Bopp a copy

of the contract prior to February 18, 2009. While a follow-up call was made to reaffirm the

contract, no written version of the contract was ever forwarded to Ms. Bopp.

Inadequate contract

Program”. ScamU states that this document allegedly constitutes the contract. The OEBA

requires that a contract for the provision of gas or electricity must contain certain elements and

be presented in the manner prescribed by regulations. The document provided to Ms. Bopp does
