This just goes to show you what happens when you are in a rush.
Brett Gilliam sent me two faxes today and asked me to transcribe them and
post them to the net. I gladly did so but was in the middle of my own
projects and never thought to click on the spell checker after I hastily
copied the faxes.

This has resulted in a fair amount of grief being given to him from the many
astute readers who took great pleasure in pointing out the many typos.

So, let it be known, the typos were all MINE, and his original fax was
without blemish!

The following message is being posted on behalf of UWATEC USA at the request
of Brett Gilliam, CEO...

============

UWATEC USA Inc.

To: UWATEC Dealers, USA, Canada, Caribbean

From: Brett Gilliam, Chief Executive Officer

Date: April 26, 1996


We have recently made some changes in management at UWATEC USA INC. I have
taken over as Chief Executive officer (CEO) effective April 23rd. (See
industry provided Press Release).

In the process of making the transition to the new management team, our
offices were closed on Wednesday, April 24th for one day. Unfortunately,
some of our dealers were misinformed by an incorrect phone answering message
and a posting on the internet that left the impression that UWATEC had
closed its operations permanently. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
This "Misinformation" was apparently disseminated by discharged employees
seeking to disrupt our business briefly.

UWATEC USA is open for business as usual. Orders are being processed and
shipped. New product is en route from Switzerland including the new Nitrox
version of the Aladin pro. The majority of original staff has been retained
and are hard at work to serve you. We have added additional staff as well to
improve our service. In essence, there has been no change whatsoever in our
normal functions of day to day business except that four employees were let
go and replaced.

many of you have already called in and expressed your satisfaction with the
changes made. but we expect that other obscure attempts at "dirty tricks"
may yet surface and wanted to assure our valued dealers that no interruption
in service has occurred and that UWATEC remains totally committed to the
North American market and is aggressively moving to increase its market share.

Please feel free to call the office directly on our new toll free line
(888-892-8321) with any questions you may have. Regular business hours are
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM East Coast Time zone.

As the world's largest manufacturer of diving instruments and computers,
UWATEC is looking forward to continued growth in 1996. Our dealer network is
a precious asset and we regret any confusion you may have suffered effecting
our recent improvements. please continue to advise us on how we can best
serve you this year. Thanks for your support!!
