[wplug] Response to my email enquiry...OT?...[Fwd: RE: Location listing page and product evangilism. MOOBELLA]

[Matthew J. Hughes]

My initial contact letters is at the bottom. Essentially I was asking 
about their experience with using Linux in business. My guess was that 
several WPLUG members would make the (short) trek to go use a machine if 
it was in Pittsburgh area. That if they let me know, I would let you 
know. Their response:

Dear Matthew J. Hughes

Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding a potential strategic
partnership with or investment in MooBella.  Your inquiry was forwarded
to me as my company; Saturn Partners has been involved with every aspect
of the MooBella capitalization and strategic partner development plan.
By way of introduction, my name is Jeff McCormick. I am a member of the
Board of Directors of MooBella. 
 
We have received many inquiries from potential business partners and
investors who have recognized the tremendous opportunity of MooBella.  I
believe this Company will be revolutionary by its ability to expand the
reach of fresh made premium ice cream, yogurt, soy and gelato products
domestically and internationally through its multi- patented MooBella
system.
 
As far as current and future international relationships are concerned,
we are in preliminary discussions with several potential partners for
select areas.  Where and how quickly we expand will depend on a number
of factors including distribution channels, customer relationships and
capital resources.  These initial discussions have also addressed direct
investment in MooBella. 
 
We have received many expressions of interest pertaining to developing a
franchising system for MooBella. While we certainly have not ruled this
opportunity out, our current  focus is on building the MooBella business
by owning the machines, placing them directly in good locations and
servicing those accounts via large established distribution systems or
in our New England market, on a direct basis.  
 
On the financing front, for the time being, we still welcome capital
partners.  MooBella has gotten where it is with investment by forward
thinking, entrepreneurial individuals, high net worth family offices and
corporate/fund investments.  MooBella is currently privately held and
therefore interests in the Company cannot be purchased by buying shares
on an exchange.  Shares can only be purchased by accredited investors
through a private placement.  If you meet the qualifications for
accredited investors in private placements and are interested in
receiving a prospectus, please feel free to e-mail me directly at
jmccormick at saturnasset.com.
 
 Thank you again for your interest and kind words of encouragement.   I
share your enthusiasm for MooBella's worldwide potential.
 
Very truly yours,
    

Jeffrey S. McCormick
Managing Partner

Hi,
    I am a member of the Western PA Linux user group. We are centered 
around Pittsburgh, PA. One of our members posted a link to the story 
about your machines on linuxdevices.com. I followed that all the way 
back to your website. I am writing to ask if I could be notified when 
one of your machines makes it to the greater Pittsburgh Area. I imagine 
that you will probably not be placing the units yourself but instead 
farming out the technology/machines to a third party. However, I think 
that your company would probably be the most likely to be able to 
disseminate where the machines are being operated. When a machine makes 
it to our location, I think we as a group would make the trip to see/use
it.
    Also if you should happen to do a tour advertising the machine, with

or without bringing a machine, Please let us know. I feel that we would 
be interested in hearing about your product if you should be in the 
area. The group focus would tend to be more about using Linux and open 
source, both technical and business. (Personally, I am interested in ice

cream as well.[1]) We typically have physical meetings on the Carnegie 
Mellon University campus 1-2 times a month on Saturdays.
    If you would like to know more about us, you can visit our
website.[2]

Thanks,
Matthew J Hughes
