Xxxxx,
We are excited about the opportunity to provide Xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx access to our
award-winning news and the country's premier urban radio network. As we work to
develop a formal agreement, please accept this letter of intent for the services
that Bloomberg L.P. will commit to this partnership.
I have summarized the Internet data and advertising objecives we discussed.
Currently, our attorneys are drafting a formal agreement which should be
completed no later than October 15th. As you look over this description of
services, please remember these deal points are being reviewed by our legal
staff. While we do not anticipate any major changes, some elements may be
altered.
Thank you for your time and attention. We look forward to a fruitful partnership
with xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. If you have any questions or comments, I can be reached
