Hello Charles,

Rather than spam your Ubuntu group’s mail list, I wanted to reach out to
you to offer your group a $25 off coupon for computer system purchases
from our online store. Uber Technologies has partnered with Source Code
Corporation and Jetta International to bring you quality laptop,
desktop, and server systems featuring Ubuntu Linux pre-installed (no
Microsoft tax!) through our “Build it with Ubuntu” program. As an
introduction to and in support of Linux user groups, we are offering
this $25 off coupon for the rest of 2009 for systems purchased from our
website at http://www.uber-technologies.com . The coupon code (applied
at checkout) is ubuntulocos2009

Although our preference is for Ubuntu given its ease of use and strength
of community support through groups such as yours, we also offer
pre-installation of Fedora, CentOS, Novell openSuse, and Red Hat
Enterprise. In addition, we do offer Microsoft Windows (for those who
cannot completely make the switch yet) and you can also get our systems
hardware only with no operating system to save a few bucks.

Thank you for your time and consideration and I hope you will decide to
pass this offer on to your group. Included below are some deals on our
popular systems.

Sincerely,

Timothy Boyden
CEO
Uber Technologies LLC
