Dear Sirs, I am writing to introduce myself as an individual who wishes to become a CD Community Distribute for OpenOffice.org. My name is Gary Hallberg and I am starting up as a part time sole trader under the name of "North Border Software". My full contact details are below. I wish to sell CD's of OpenOffice at a nominal cost for the media and postage and I propose to donate 10% of the margin on each sale (approximately 0.10GBP) to OpenOffice.org as monetary contribution. I also propose to donate about 5% of the margin on all ebay sales to designated charities.
I have registered the domain names "northborder-software.co.uk (& .com) for a future internet presence. However, initial sales will be via ebay until there is such demand to merit the cost of Web hosting. I am employed full time as I anticipate this to be very much a part time and venture with little personal financial gain. As a user of OpenOffice I believe very much in the concept and I am very impressed with the product. I am also writing to ask permission to use the logos and banners on my Web presence and my distribution CD's. I have read an understood the Information for Distributes page on your Website and I will subscribe to the relevent mailing lists. Best Wishes, Gary Hallberg The Old Chapel Lanehead Tarset NE48 1NT UK +44 1434 240767
