Please help spread the word

Friends,

As many of you know I have been working with a classmate from Bonner (high school) to launch a company that facilitates secure mobile phone money transfers. The technology, patents, legal certifications, banking approvals, etc. have taken us two years. However, we are now active and approved in several states including Pennsylvania, California, and Massachusetts, with more states on the way. The phone companies have issued us a five-digit code "56624" after certifying our processes, data encryption, and security.

So, I can say...

Finally mobile payments have come to the US. Now you can conveniently and securely send and receive (XIP) money using your cell phone.

To enable your phone

Text “connect 230”

To 56624

Once your phone is XIPWIRE enabled you will receive an ID and PIN and then can load your mobile phone wallet with money from any credit card or checking account.

There is no cost to enable your phone. The text message above does not obligate you or cost you anything. It merely enables your phone to XIP payments using XIPWIRE technology.

It may not be obvious at first when you might ever use this technology, however here are a few examples.

Paying a tutor. Paying the plumber. Sending money to a child at college. Receiving payment for your small business from a customer. Authorizing petty cash for employees. Paying for girl scout cookies. Receiving money from friends for theater tickets. Paying for a cab.

We are finished with the first stage and are now trying to build the network or enabled users as quickly as possible. The more people and businesses using XIPWIRE for mobile payments, the more valuable the service is to our customers.

So, I am asking you to please send the text described above form your cell phone and then forward this email to as many people as you can. Our venture capitalists want to see us grow to 10,000 users by the end of the month!

Please help spread the word.

Thank you,

Joe Sweeney

PS We are trying to activate as many phones as possible this month. So, please forward this email. If you have questions, you may email me at Joe@XIPWIRE.oom
