Subject: Exciting new program!

GW Micro, manufacturer of the world's most stable screen reader,
Window-Eyes, is proud to announce a new and exciting program. We feel that
this is something that has been needed for a long time and would like your
assistance in making this a real success.

Have you ever felt alone when it comes to using your computer with
Window-Eyes and other applications? Are computers new to you and do you
have many more questions than answers? Wouldn't it be nice if you could
call someone on the phone in your area and ask a few questions? Well, we
have a solution. Introducing the GW Micro Mentor Program. We've designed
this project to meet such needs. Here's how it will work:

We will keep a list of volunteers on our web site of Window-Eyes users
that are willing and eager to help you with your questions. These are
people who enjoy assisting others, and are willing to donate their time to
help solve whatever Window-Eyes related problems you might have. If you do
not have Internet access you can contact our office for names of
individuals in your area.

If you are an experienced Window-Eyes user and would like to become a
volunteer in this program you can send private email along with your
contact information to [log in to unmask] We will require the following
information: city, state, email, and phone number. Although these criteria
are required for our records, they are optional for our directory listing
on the web page. We will also need the most reasonable times when you can
be contacted (for example: evenings after 5pm, between 5pm and 10pm, etc).


If you are interested in becoming a Window-Eyes mentor, we would like to
have your contact information as soon as possible (make sure you have read
the disclaimer below before you decide). As a mentor you will be helping a
fellow user become more proficient, and as we all know, when teaching you
always learn something yourself.

I hope each of you are as excited about this new venture as we are, and I
look forward to your private email in response.

Best regards,



GW Micro will track all the contact information and make it readily
available to our users. If you are interested in becoming a Window-Eyes
mentor, please read through the following disclaimer. If you agree with
