| Dear Jane,
 It 
                      gives me great pleasure to e-mail you our first “new 
                      look” newsletter for 2003. This monthly newsletter 
                      will from now on go out on the last working day of each 
                      month.
 It is designed to update you on the latest LexisNexis conferences 
                      on offer, make you aware of special offers and provide valuable 
                      information.
 Our team 
                      of conference producers, all experienced legal professionals, 
                      will share with you any interesting facts or websites they 
                      stumble across when researching the latest legal issues 
                      and their implications for business. We have also included 
                      a SPEAKER OF THE MONTH feature where we will profile a legal 
                      professional who has set himself apart from his peers. On a 
                      more general note, we have moved offices and our new physical 
                      address is 13 – 15 Shea Terrace, Takapuna. Please 
                      don’t hesitate to contact the team at LexisNexis Professional 
                      Development if we can assist you with your search for information. abcd
