Dear America Online and Instant Message users, Our America Online staff is planning to take away our Instant messages by September 14.1998. If you want to keep your Instant Messages free of charge, send this mail to everyone you know. It will be used as a petition. Each person you send this to, counts as one "signature." If this petition gets 1,000 "signatures," our Instant Messages will still be available at no extra charge. If America Online does not receive 1,000 "signatures," Instant Messages will still be available, but only to those who pay an extra 15.00 dollars a month. If you do not care about not getting any future Instant Messages, please send this for the sake of those who want to keep their Instant Messages free of charge. Thank you for your time and consideration. Robert McDoggan America Online Assistance Director
