Hello!

I´m an Icelander who likes writing about whatever comes to my mind.

Through the years I´ve been writing all kinds of stories and articles, first in Icelandic and then translated it to English as well.

Last year I got the idea about "Netsaga.is", my own website where I could put all my writings for everybody to read and enjoy perhabs.

When it had been created I got the idea of giving others (the hobby-writers) a chance to put their stories, poems and articles on netsaga.is.

Since then many Icelanders have done just that.

I have translated most of it to English.

January 7. 2005 two articles came to me by email from an Indian journalist in New Delhi thus making him the first foreigner to have his writings on Netsaga.is.

I have always dreamed of doing something worthwhile to make people´s lives better.

I would like to develop Netsaga.is furthermore, establishing a website where people could read and write stories, poems and articles having

paid some fee, in a similar way as it is on Blogit.com.

On Blogit.com half of the paid fees goes to the owners, but the other half is devided between the authors (bloggers) according to how much each

one gets read.

On Netsaga.is the devision will be a lot different:

Half of the fees will go to the writers on the one hand, but on the other it would be devided between the writers and the translators of all the

languages, thus making it possible for all nations to take part in Netsaga.is, either as writers or readers.

My wish is that if every nation of the UN could and would want to exchange stories, poems and articles on the Internet we could strengthen the

understanding between people on this lovely Earth of ours, the tolerance and peace.

The other half of the fees would be devided between the management on the one hand, and UN on the other, perhabs some establishment like

UNICEF.

By participating in Netsaga.is, either as writers or readers people would be helping to improve the world at the same time as the writers would

get a chance to introduce themselves to the rest of the world and they would get some salary for their work.

The reason I´m sending this letter to your company is that I would like to get its assistance in further programming and advertising Netsaga.is or your partnership developing this new kind of publishing.

I believe our ideals go together and I´m seeking your co-operation in improving this world of ours both in words and deeds.

Best wishes,
