        Re:Demand to Cease and Desist

Dear Mr. Hamidi:

We have been informed that your FACE-Intel organization has again begun sending unsolicited electronic "spam" mail to Intel employees through Intel's internal e-mail system. We are sending this letter directly to you, rather than to the attorneys representing you in your lawsuit against Intel, because it does not involve your employment at Intel or your legal claims, but is addressed solely to the recent actions of "FACE-Intel," which you have indicated is not represented by counsel. If FACE-Intel has retained legal counsel in this matter, please let us know immediately.

The e-mail addresses of Intel employees are confidential and proprietary information and you are using them illegally. FACE-Intel's spam mailings also drain valuable resources by taxing Intel's internal systems and requiring responses to employee requests as to why they are continuing to receive unwanted e-mails from your organization. Any such list in whatever form in your possession or in the possession of any other member of your organization must be returned to Intel at once. We demand that you agree to return this information immediately. You many return the lists, in whatever form they are maintained, to Coeta Chambers at:

Intel Corporation
Legal Services
2200 Mission College Blvd.
Mailstop SC4-116
Santa Clara, 95052-8119
Intel has already indicated that FACE-Intel's e-mail messages are an unsolicited intrusion on the company's proprietary computer equipment and has taken steps to try to prevent your improper spamming of Intel employees. Intel has a legal right to an injunction prohibiting any future trespass upon its proprietary computer system.

If you do not agree immediately to cease and desist, Intel will consider filing a lawsuit requesting appropriate injunctive and other appropriate relief. See, e.g., America online v. Cyber Promotion, 948 F. Supp. 436 (E.D. Pa. 1996).
 
 

Sincerely,
