F.I.R.S.T. Friends,

I thought you might be interested in this email:

Hello!

We are in Grade 5 at Mill Cove District School, which is about 1/2 hours
West of Halifax, Nova Scotia. We have 7 girls and 10 boys in our
class. We have decided to map an email project. We are curious to see
where in the world our email will travel by Internet, between the period
of April 8 thru June 7, 1999.

We would like your help. If you receive this message, we ask that you:

  1. email back and tell us your location so we can plot it on our world
    map

        and
    
  2. send our class letter on to more people.

Thank you for any help you can give. Our email address is
