To: Web Police News Service Subscribers From: Director - International Web Police Subject: Bulletin Priority: Normal Date: 08/18/04 _____ For 18 years the hundreds of wonderful volunteers of Web Police have served and protected you. Unfortunately, lack of funding and sponsors will soon cause us to close down our operations. The immense operating costs of protecting a community of 500 million people is rising and can no longer be borne by one individual. Your help is needed! Criminals on the Internet have access to unlimited funds and sophisticated equipment to avoid detection. Our equipment must be updated to meet this challenge. Funds are needed to pay the rising costs of telephones, web sites, connections, software, computers, hardware, printers and supplies. We have sufficient funds to continue serving you for another 30 to 45 days. After that our web sites and e-mail accounts will close and our services will be curtailed. We have been very effective at reducing crime on the internet and I do hope our many other services have been valuable to you. I do hope you will consider helping us to help you. My apologies if I have bothered you with this message, no further messages will be sent to you regarding this matter. Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
