RE: Evros & Gaisan Technologies – Potential Business Alliance

Hi Caroline,
I’m the Managing Director of Gaisan Technologies in Waterford. I’m looking
forward to meeting you tommorow to discuss a potential business alliance
between Evros and Gaisan. I’ll be joined by my co-directors Willie Hayes and
Michael Dempsey. Here’s our envisaged agenda for tommorow’s meeting.

– Description of Gaisan’s Services (Web design, hosting, tech support, VoIP,
eCommerce, data archival)
– Possible areas for collaboration
– Referral strategies and fees
– A.O.B.

Let me know if this is acceptable and if you have any modifications or
additions. See you tommorow at 11:00am.

Sincerest regards,

…shane

Thought for the day

When storms tire of swift yet futile rage I find myself standing in her shelter with peace & warmth unthinkable. The more I have to lose the more I’ve gained. Fear will not shackle me for she has set me free. Two singers, a single song, an ode to joy, hope and omnipotence of youth. Oscillating and undulating til they reach their inexorable damburst of resonant rhyme. Each molecule stirring in sympathy with touching, tingling, tangled souls. When the heart speaks the mind finds it indecent to object. When the soul sings the mind hums in blissful harmony, free at last… free at last…
