<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I take the liberty of contacting you for an unusual
request.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I really appreciate your VLC software and I am
a long-time user. That's why I contact you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm the webmaster of the <A
href="http://www.eclipsis.fr">Eclipsis.fr</A> website. My city is organizing a
competition where the goal is to get the higher pagerank before a date (April
20th 2005). I subscribe to it, since it's open only to website from inhabitants
of this french department.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is what I'd like so much:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It'd be awesome for me to have a hard link
(text-link) on a page like your homepage (<A
href="http://www.videolan.org">http://www.videolan.org</A></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>). I don't ask a permanent link, but just during the time of
the contest. On april 21st, you could remove it, and I will never annoy you
again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In exchange, I can do a permanent link (text or
logo) to your site on each page of my site (135 pages total: 11 PR5 pages,
38 PR4 pages and about 90 PR3/PR1 pages).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Besides, I can add your 468x60 banner if you have
one, to my partner page.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I ask an exchange between a temporary link (3
month) on your home, against a permanent one on my whole site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are OK with this, since I'm interested in
just the PR, the link can be anywhere on your homepage, any font size (or even a
hidden link (within the <noscript> </noscript> for example). It
won't "cost" you a lot (just seconds to add it), but will grant my site an
excellent Backlink. The text-link to ad should be whatever you want, or simply
"Eclipsis" (or "Agence Web") pointing to the URL <A
href="http://www.eclipsis.fr">http://www.eclipsis.fr</A>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would be so happy that you accept this "strange"
partnership. I'm concious that you may have no time to answer, but please try to
:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for everything, looking forward adding
your link to my pages. Friendly,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kad, webmaster of <A
href="http://www.eclipsis.fr">Eclipsis.fr</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS1: Please forgive my
english ;-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS2: You are the only site I have asked
this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>PS3: If it's not possible on your homepage, please consider this one (<A
