   their feelings down the drain.

   don't cry your little heart out
   because i am not comming back to you

   because my broken heart will never

We would like to reach artists from all over the world to participate in our competition. It would be great, if you would participate and if you would forward this information to all people you know, who might be interested in our competition.

Subject: 4th grade project...

We are a fourth grade class at Sieden Prairie School in Matteson, Illinois.

Our class has 16 boys and 7 girls.
Our school has 360 students.

We decided to map an email project for our school because we were curious to see how far email can travel by Internet in the United States. Our project will last just two months, beginning January 22, 1999 and ending March 22, 1999

We would like your help.
We ask that:
1. If you receive our email letter, could you email our class back telling us your location.
2. Also, please send our class letter on to 2 more people.

Our email address is: <fourthgrade4b@yahoo.com>

Thanks,
