Dear Sir/Madam:

My name is Chandrika Kaul, and I'm an editor with Microsoft Encarta, in
Redmond, WA. I'm contacting you about the possibility of including
individual facts extracted from the Plants For A Future database in the
Encarta Answers service on MSN Search.

We envision an arrangement in which Plants For A Future provides
Encarta with this database, which we would incorporate into our Answers
service. In exchange, Plants For A Future would receive full credit and
a link in the source citation accompanying the answer. Each cell of
Plants data in Answer will give Plants For A Future database as source.

Now would be the time to ask them not only to link/credit PFAF but also its new incarnation, PIW? They will want to do same with PIW eventually so they need to know about our project.

Could you tell them about PIW and maybe bring them into the fold as possible PCPLANTDB subscriber and development participant?

We will not alter or transform information from this db. Essentially,
you get top-of-page placement in MSN Search results whenever a user asks
a question we answer with your data, which should increase awareness of
and website traffic to Plants For A Future.

Thanks for your time and attention! An early reply will be very much
appreciated

I remain respectfully,

Chandrika Kaul
