I am the Senior Managing Attorney — Employment Law and Assistant Secretary of FedEx Freight and have acted as counsel to FedEx Freight in connection with the issuance and delivery by FedEx Freight of its Guarantee of the Notes (the “FedEx Freight Guarantee”).

In connection with the opinions expressed below, I have examined, or caused to be examined by attorneys at my direction, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture, the FedEx Freight Guarantee, the Underwriting Agreement, FedEx Freight’s articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws, as amended, and such agreements, documents, certificates and statements of government officials and other papers as I have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for such opinions.  In such examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.  In making our examination of executed documents and documents to be executed, I have assumed (i) that the parties thereto (other than FedEx Freight) had or will have the power, corporate or otherwise, and authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder, (ii) the due delivery by such parties of such documents and (iii) that such documents constitute or will constitute valid and binding obligations of such parties.  As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein, which I have not independently established or verified, I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and representatives of FedEx Freight.

Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

1.             FedEx Freight is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Arkansas.

2.             FedEx Freight has the corporate power to (a) enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture and (b) create, enter into and perform its obligations under the FedEx Freight Guarantee.

3.             Each of the Indenture and the FedEx Freight Guarantee has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by FedEx Freight.

I am qualified to practice law in the State of Arkansas, and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Arkansas.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company and Federal Express Corporation on the date hereof and its incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement.  In addition, I further consent to the reference to me under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement, which is a part of the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, special counsel to the Company, may rely upon this opinion in rendering its opinion of even date herewith.

This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof and I undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to advise you (or any third party) of any subsequent change in or development of law or fact that might affect the matters, conclusions, statements or opinions set forth herein.
