Subject: From Larry Roberts

Hi,

?

My name is Larry Roberts.? I'm one of the millions of Internet users with a
sight problem.? The University of Maryland says seven percent of all Users
have visual disabilities.? Please take a moment to consider the importance of
making WebPages accessible for all people.

?

There are hundreds of disabilities involving those with sight problems and
other 'virtual' disabilities.? The good news is disabled Users can easily
access sites that comply with universal standards.? Unfortunately, the vast
majority of sites don't bother to make these simple changes to their
WebPages.?

?

If you are a disabled user we would be honored to help you set up your Web
Site absolutely free.? If you already have a Web Site and would like some
help making it accessible to all Internet users, we offer a complete package
on W3C Compliancy, including a Real Player Video for a small donation.? Once
your site is accessible we will gladly add your link to our page.? If you
can't afford to make a donation then write us and we will help you no
questions asked.??

?

And more good news, Accessible Sites display virtually the same when viewed
with any Internet browser.? If you have a Web site for your business on the
web you'll be happy to know that you are compliant with Section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act, as it applies to all Federal contractors. This law
requires the government can only procure through accessible mediums that are
inclusive.

?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this e-mail.? If you
currently don't have a Web site, but know a friend who does could you a take
a moment and forward them this information.?

?

It's quite simple to make a Universally Accessible Web site, for further
information on Web Site Compliancy and all the information I listed above

Sincerely,

Larry Roberts

Founder, Kindred-Souls.org

?

This is not SPAM and I'm not trying to sell you anything.? My goal is to
provide every Internet user with information on how to make their Web sites
accessible to people suffering with disabilities.? I'm the founder of a
non-profit charity dedicated to universal Web accessibility.? I also provide
a free Internet community with thousands of resources for Users suffering
from disabilities at: http://www.kindred-souls.org
