Dear Potential Reader:

We work with various companies and web sites in order to identify new
subscribers. Unfortunately, due to certain unauthorized actions and
errors by some of these companies, we received information which
indicated that you had elected to receive one or more of the magazines
listed below, only to discover that a great deal of this information
was incorrect. It appears that many individuals who had interacted
with one or more of these web sites were automatically listed as
having requested a free trial subscription. Although some of the free
issues have already been mailed, and in certain instances invoices
sent out, we are immediately taking the steps needed to stop all
further mailings. However, because we are unable, due to the errors
involved, to confirm that every request was improper, we are
cancelling all of the requests received from these sources.

We recognize that the actions we are taking to correct this situation
may result in the cancellation of requests that were valid.
Accordingly, if you are an individual who requested a trial
subscription, but have not yet received anything, please e-mail our
Customer Service Staff at mailto:kgifford@imaginemedia.com or
mailto:dnelson@imaginemedia.com, and we will gladly reinstate or
confirm the subscription(s) in question upon request.

We hope that you have not been inconvenienced or confused on account
of our processing these erroneous subscription requests, and ask that
you accept our sincere apologies with respect to this matter. The
magazines involved are: (1) Business 2.0, (2) MacAddict, (3) Maximum
PC, (4) Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine, (5) PlayStation Magazine,
(6) Revolution, (7) TotalMovie, and ( T3.

Please note that this notice is being sent as a courtesy, so as to
inform you of the situation. You do not need to take any actions in
order to stop the erroneous subscriptions you may have already
received. If, however, you continue to receive magazines which you did
not request (or related invoices), please take a moment to call us at
the customer service number noted above so that we may investigate
your situation and take the appropriate corrective actions.

Once again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience you may have
experienced on account of these errors and wish to thank you in
advance for working with us to straighten this situation out..

Sincerely yours, Imagine Media, Inc.
