Subject: FLASH: Top Flash Developers needed!
From: Mark Abouzeid
Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2000 16:14:40 GMT

We are the web agency for a venture capital Web project and requires the
services of one or more top-class Flash developers.

For this project, we have defined a client which will need to be in Flash
probably working with generator but definitely interacting with Allaire
Spectra, Cold Fusion and Oracle 8i. Functionality will include instant
messaging, personalized email, secure logon to private hubs, dynamic graphic
navigation generation, multi-user chat, bulletin boards, et al.

We have the rest of the expertise but need the flash/generator component. If
you have significant experience, would like to work on an international project
with a diverse team, and possess the professional attitude required for a
worldwide consumer project launch; please respond directly to me.

I need to see examples of your work along these specific lines and have some
idea of compensation requirements. I am willing to consider individuals or
development agencies. Equity participation may be available for the right team
member.

best regards,

Mark Abouzeid, President
Collective Wisdom Inc.
