        Dear WELL Special Guest,

        You have been enjoying a complimentary account in order to participate
        in The WELL.  As always, we're honored to have you as a significant
        factor in our acclaimed online community.  We value your presence and
        your contributions.

        As you know, The WELL is one of the few commercial sites on the
        Internet with no advertising; our community is self-supporting through
        subscriptions.  And now we are asking you to join us as a paying
        member of the WELL community.

        Your account includes email at well.com, membership in our legendary
        conferences, the opportunity to set up a private or independent
        conference of your own, 10MB of included storage and a URL at
        www.well.com. The regular fee for this package is $15 per month,
        available to you for just $10 (plus any extra storage, additional
        email accounts and the like) since you qualify for our Classic rate.


        If you need to update your billing information or review the
        description of the Classic plan, you may type !billing at the OK
        prompt, or go to the billing information center from
        http://www.well.com/tools.html for a secure update.

        If you have questions or prefer to cancel your account, please email
        special@well.com.

        We need to hear from you.  If we don't, your account will be billed at
        the Classic rate starting in August, and your membership and all your
        system files preserved for you until you tell us otherwise.

        Thanks again for your support of the WELL community, and your
        continued participation.

        The reason I have a complimentary account on the Well is because I
        set up WellMuse at no cost to the Well, and continue to support its
        operation at no cost to the Well.

        This quid pro quo was agreed to by me and Howard many years ago.

        I see no reason to change it now.

        Barry

        Unfortunately, that complimentary offer has expired.  If you would
        like to continue with The WELL, please furnish your billing
        information.  Thanks.
