Joe,
Good afternoon. I trust you are enjoying a beautiful day in the California sunshine.
Thank you for you message regarding 800 Travel Systems.
It is regrettable that you state, "many of us shareholders are now starting to doubt that the
company even understands the marketplace and the internet
and are puzzled as to what the company is attempting to do here."
We greatly appreciate the loyal support of our 800 Travel's investors. Management is
determined to fulfil each and every one of the previously stated
initiatives to grow the company thereby increasing shareholder equity.
As for when and how this will happen, there is very little that I can say in the way of
forward looking comments. Any information we can provide about
800 Travel Systems, completion of corporate alliances, fulfilment of previously stated plans,
or additional site content will be publicly announced through
Newswire, BusinessWire, etc. Following a public disclosure, the Investor Relations
department is able to help the street disseminate the information.
I am sorry if you feel slighted or ignored by 800 Travel Systems. That is not our intent. Far
from it. The members of the Tampa headquarters are
working hard to accomplish our objectives, and fulfil those promises to investors. The
Investor Relations dept continues to canvas the small cap,
Internet, and travel sector analysts and investors to tell them our yet to be completed story.
Consider the fundamental reasons that you initially purchased 800 Travel Systems stock.
Have these changed?
The corporate mission to become a full service travel portal is unchanged
The exclusive IRIS chat technology is putting up what appears to be the highest look to
book close ratios in e-commerce
IRIS membership continues to grow rapidly - currently this is with out any advertising of
the site while IRIS completes a testing period
800 Travel Systems continues to enjoy profitability of the brick-and-mortor fulfilment side
of the company
If you are concerned about your investment and/or the future development of 800 Travel
Systems, I urge you to be present for this year's Investor's
Shareholders meeting which will be held in Tampa, Fl. on December 1, 1999. That is the
proper and best forum to address each and every one of your
concerns. More information on time and location forthcoming.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I look forward to speaking to you again soon.
regards,
Jonathan Leibensperger
