 Dear Customer

Has it been 2 weeks? Yes, it has. Molly and I had a great time away last week at Rockhampton Molly and her Grandma had the best time. We went to Great Keppel Island, which was a highlight of our visit. Also we went to the Botanical Gardens , zoo, and swimming pool. Thanks to everyone who sent cards for Molly's 3rd birthday and wishes for our holiday. (I have to admit taking a three year old away is not exactly a holiday!)

I said a few weeks ago I would provide a summary of info from our meeting about the city plan and "zoning" (now called areas). Well here goes.

RESIDENTIAL AREAS

I hope the last email I sent re virus protection has been heeded? Once again, if you do not update your virus protection software please do so. If you don't know what to do, please ask someone or look on the web for info. I am even happy to help if you want to ring me. Don't have a virus scanner? Try Inoculateit Personal Edition Its free for personal users and updating is easy (Also download the update after installing). I am still being sent emails from someone with a (detectable) viruses attached. Have you received an email from hahahaha@sexyfun.net ? If so and you have opened the attachment then you will be infected. If this is you please ring me or takes steps to delete the virus. No one likes to talk about viruses, but its real and we should all take steps to prevent any spread. (NB.

Have you got your finance sorted out for your next purchase? It certainly pays to talk to the right people. I've looked into it - you can actually save thousands of dollars with the right loan product, regardless whether you are a first homebuyer or an seasoned investor. When you visit one lending institution they naturally will try to "sell" you into their product as they have nothing else to offer. As a service to you, I have sourced and now recommend a broker who will find you the best loan arrangement to suit your needs from a large variety of banks and lending institutions. Best thing is that there is no fee for this service - it's free. Ralph Woods, the managing director from Tristar Financial Services is the person who can service all your home loan needs - you can email here and Ralph will contact you - best to include your contact phone numbers if possible. Or just give me a call if you would like more info or a brochure.
