Dear Denis:
Enclosed is a copy of my letter to Bruce Waterfall dated November 5, 1999.
As I advised you in our telephone conversation today, I have resigned from the
Darling Board of Directors, effective immediately.
I have enjoyed working with you and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors
to bring the Company back to acceptable levels of profitability.
Very truly yours,
/s/ William L. Westerman

New York, NY 10022
Dear Bruce:
In view of the Morgens Waterfall's initiation of legal action against the
Riviera, and me personally, I believe it is inappropriate for me to continue as
a director of Darling International.
Therefore, please accept my resignation as a Director of Darling, effective
immediately.
I wish you and Darling management the best of luck in the future.
Very truly yours,
/s/ William L. Westerman
