Dear Customer:

Happy New Year! And thank you again for carrying WonderChess!

WonderChess is off to a good start with retailers reporting an average of 80% sell-through.

There is nice ‘word-of-mouth’ buzz now – retailers and consumers get the concept quickly, like it and value it. The media has also noticed the uniqueness. We were recently mentioned in Washington’s 3rd largest newspaper as one of six board games to consider. Moreover, the University of Washington magazine recently interviewed me for a full story in its upcoming edition.

We are also pleased to receive a gold seal validation from America’s Foundation for Chess – a well-respected, non-profit, national organization that supports chess in the classroom for 2nd and 3rd graders. The seals will appear on all future product shipments.

Given the initial success of WonderChess, we have grown our team to four and are now working on expanding our product line based on our pending patent for “prize containing game pieces and related methods”. WonderChess Deluxe Edition in tin box, and a special WonderCheckers are two of the next products.

I look forward to working with you in 2005. You may reach me via email michel@wonderchess.com or phone 206.336.5590 with any feedback or questions.

Thanks again for your support!

Sincerely,

Michel Alvarez
