My name is Charmaine Velasco and I represent the intellectual property group for Amazon.com, Inc. One of my jobs is protecting the valuable brand that we have created in the mark Amazon.com. We've spent millions of dollars building the Amazon.com brand to a point where it is recognized throughout the world. Protecting this brand is not an easy task and one that we take very seriously. One aspect of our brand protection program is that we actively pursue all people who infringe or dilute the value of our trademarks.

> This e-mail may therefore come as no surprise to you. It has come to our attention that you have registered the domain name and are using the domain as a re-direct to a site that offers links that sell goods in competition with Amazon.com. We believe your registration and use of the domain violates a number of laws that protect trademark owners, including the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and Federal Trademark Dilution Act. And while we rarely have to resort to pursuing remedies under these laws, we have and will in order to prevent further misuse of our brand.

> Rather than resorting to legal processes, however, we would like to offer you an opportunity to quickly settle this matter. We will consider the matter resolved if you elect one of the following options:
> (1) You agree to immediately remove all content associated with the domain and to no longer use the domain for any purpose until it expires. You further agree not to renew the domain and to allow it to expire at the end of the current registration period; or
> (2) You agree to transfer ownership of the domain to Amazon.com and to take the necessary steps to complete the transfer. If you complete the transfer in a timely fashion and agree to not register any domains containing Amazon or a misspelling in the future, we will reimburse you for the amount that the registrar initially charged you to register the domain.

> Please respond to this e-mail by 24 September 2004 to indicate whether you would like to settle this matter in accordance with one of the above options. If you agree to the transfer, we will provide you appropriate instructions about how to complete the transfer. If we do not hear from you by this date, we will take those further steps that we believe are necessary to protect our rights.
