Pro Net Link Corp.
645 Fifth Avenue, Suite 303
New York, New York 10022

Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as counsel for Pro Net Link Corp. (the
"Company"), a Nevada corporation, in connection with the registration pursuant
to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") by the
Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 3,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"), to be offered for sale by the Company from time to time under the Pro
Net Link Corp. 2000 Stock Plan adopted by the Company in February 2000 (the
"Plan").
                  We have examined the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws, as amended, and minute books and such other documents
and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for our opinions
hereinafter set forth. For the purposes of this letter, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original documents of all
instruments furnished to us for review or examination as copies.

                  Based on the foregoing and having regard to such legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that:

                  1. The Company is a corporation duly organized under the laws
of the State of Nevada.

                  2. The Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement has
been validly authorized.

                  3. When (i) the Common Stock has been duly registered under
the Act, (ii) certificates for the Common Stock have been duly delivered, and
(iii) the Company has received the consideration to be received by it (a)
pursuant to and upon exercise of options granted under the Plan or (b) pursuant
to the terms of grants of Common Stock made under the Plan, the Common Stock
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company.
