Re: Surrender of Massachusetts Pharmacist Registration No. 25058 (Exp. 12/31/04)
       in resolution of Complaint No. PH-07-109 (Complaint)

Dear Mr. Zafar:

The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy recently reviewed the above-referenced complaint concern the discipline of your Virginia Pharmacist License (No. 0202-206132) by the Virginia Board of Pharmacy pursuant to the Consent Order you entered into with the Virginia Board dated December 21, 2006.

In response to the June 13, 2007 letter from Massachusetts Board Investigator Jay Emery,
you telephoned Mr. Emery on June 15, 2007 and stated you had no intention of renewing your expired Massachusetts pharmacist registration and would not otherwise be responding to the Board regarding the above-referenced Complaint.

Please be advised that based on your above-described statements to Board Investigator Emery, the Board has accepted the surrender of any right you may have to renew your Massachusetts Pharmacist Registration  in resolution of the Complaint on the terms and conditions that you understand  and agree your registration  renewal surrender is voluntarily tendered; that registration  renewal surrender is an act which deprives you of all privileges of registration and is not subject to reconsideration or judicial  review; and that the Board will not review any application for registration  as a pharmacist in the future.

Very truly yours,

Sophia Pasedis, Pharm.D., R.Ph.

President Elect	                                    Dec. No. 1633
