[Mark Smith]

OFFLIST

Dear Bevan,

NextSuperMegaCloudOOB.com is available, if you'd like to submit a proposal
to my recently launched, fully capitalised early stage venture, Mark Smith
eVentures International Incorporated. I await your response and your bank
account details so I can deposit $500 dollars.

Warmest Regards,
Mark.
