Minutes on the Phone, I Will Give You Your Home Free and Clear!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="text-indent: 18pt;"&gt;Northern Florida Homeowners are reeling here in
Ormond Beach/Palm Coast due to declining home values. Many people who believed
they had safe equity in their homes are shocked to realize they are actually
upside down and owe as much or more&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;than their homes are worth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;With all that depressing news…I am
feeling the Pain…but I SEE HOPE!…&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;There is now a proven financial software solution…to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Pay Off&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;Your Traditional Mortgages in a Fraction of the Time!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;And to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; accomplish this amazing feat…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;1.&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Without refinancing (excessive refinancing is a major
reason for our current mortgage crisis)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol start="2" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Without increasing
     your current mortgage payments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Without altering
     your current lifestyle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Discover the lifetime&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;program that has been made available to homeowners to help build
equity back into their homes. Some residents now have the power and are quickly
&amp;amp; safely building back the equity in their homes.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In fact tens of thousands of homeowners across the United States
&amp;amp; Canada&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;are already using this
remarkable Debt Reduction system to…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;“The Money Merge Account &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;ä&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;” system …Discover how to
break the cycle of&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;financial
drain....Pay off your mortgage in 1/2 to 1/3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;of the time with little or no change to your
lifestyle or refinancing of your existing mortgage.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;My name is &lt;span style="color: rgb(84, 196, 71);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Mel Thibault,&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;MBA.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; and I have been in the Real Estate
industry in Northern Florida, Palm Coast &amp;amp; Ormond Beach, for almost 10
years. Over those years I have seen different Mortgage plans come and go,
however, I have never seen anything even close that offers the power and
flexibility to quickly “Pay Down Debt”&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;….. From the moment I became aware of this “Financial Analysis
Software”,&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I knew I had to help people
pay off their home loans and bring equity back into their lives.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are on a mission to bring equity back to our Community to get your
mortgages paid in full.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT WOULD YOUR LIFE BE LIKE&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;IF…?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No house payments, ……&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;No car
payments,…..&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;No credit card payments? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Could you retire now?
……Could you pay for your children’s college education? .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Could you take a
dream vacation every year?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS THE
POWER TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE. IT WILL REQUIRE ONE PHONE CALL TO SEE IF YOU
QUALIFY.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Strict confidence … We require only some basic income and mortgage
information to enter into the system to determine if your qualified for this
program.&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;OUR
AVERAGE LOCAL CLIENTS ARE SHOWING SAVING OF OVER&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;$200,000&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;IN MORTGAGE
PAYMENT REDUCTIONS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;They are Also on Pace to Own
Their Homes Free and Clear in&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;1/3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;of the Time&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;u&gt;.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Call me directly at my office at&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;386-671-1671&lt;/b&gt; for a free over
the phone evaluation. It will only take me about 6 minutes on the phone (to
enter the data)&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;to see if you qualify
for this program. So don’t delay and if you get a busy number, it means I am
helping someone else…. so please just leave a message and I will call you back
right away.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This “&lt;b&gt;Money Merge Account&lt;/b&gt;” System works 24/7, and we guarantee it in
writing. You have nothing to lose by calling and everything to gain. I look
forward to talking with you soon. This is literally the most important
financial letter you have ever read. You can literally save hundreds of thousands
of dollars in future mortgage payments!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;“See attachment Chart of
Sample Mortgage Pay Down” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P align=center&gt;Building Your Dream Business Today….&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Developing multiple cash flows is critical in this kind of economy we are experiencing today.&amp;nbsp; One job or one business is not enough. Which is why you need to have additional income from a growth business that provides long-term income potential for years into the future. You should be looking into one of our growth U.S. National Company that offer part-time or full-time high income and top training from some of the best trainers in the country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have multiple cash flows you can weather bad situations or adverse changes in any one business or economic downturn.&amp;nbsp;….&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty !!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;…. Don't for one minute believe you can't make a great income. In fact you can make a fantastic income today, without a college diploma as many of our lead representatives are doing.&amp;nbsp; Many of the Forbes 400 did not graduate college and the ones that did, rarely used their degree to build their fortunes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We help people from all education levels increase their incomes and their confidence in the business of making a top income.&amp;nbsp; Please pass this newsletter along to someone who is interested in making more money and having the opportunity to fulfill their "Lifelong Dream" to be financially independent while having a lot of fun doing it!!&amp;nbsp; Until the next newsletter, go out and find your dreams. For further information on how you can start earning income call (in confidence) ……&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;B&gt;386-671-1671 &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;ask for &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;"Building a Dream Business" &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;and we will Mail or Email a Money Making Package to you….. You have nothing to loose…&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman"&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Foreclosures continue to surge with no relief in site. This is the biggest buying opportunity in 20 years. The biggest shift in wealth is going on in your own back yard. The only question is will the wealth shift to you or from you? Banks and lending institutions are resorting to auctioning their REO properties (Real Estate Owned) in bulk. They are truly motivated and this is a great time to buy some choice properties and wait for the turnaround. Especially in sunbelt states. Those markets still have over 40 million baby boomers that will drive those markets over the next decade. You need to know how the world of the REO agent works. Who better to train you then a former Reo agent? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;There is a tremendous window of opportunity now and in the next couple years to&amp;nbsp;help local Homeowners pay off their mortgage in as little as 1/3 to 1/2 the time. This is not the time for the speculator but the trained investor. If you would like top notch training by personal instructors or by CD or thru Webinars over your PC -- where you can learn from home&amp;nbsp;at a training pace that is convenient to&amp;nbsp;your schedule&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;with full&amp;nbsp;follow up support.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For further information on how you can start earning income call&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (in confidence) ……&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;B&gt;386-671-1671 &lt;/B&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;ask for &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000 size=2&gt;"Building a Dream Business" &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;and we will Mail or Email a Money Making Package to you…..

		<content type="html">&lt;DIV&gt;FHA Home Loan Program&lt;BR&gt;Poised to Take Off:&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;FHA-insured home mortgages -- marginalized or squeezed out of the market during the sub prime loan boom years -- are poised to roar back. And if Congress passes a compromise version of FHA reform legislation, maximum loan limits for FHA could rise immediately to $417,000 -- or even a lot higher. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Last month the House overwhelmingly approved a reform bill that would cut minimum down payments to zero, and increase loan limits in high cost areas of California well beyond $500,000. Under the House-passed bill, FHA could insure mortgages as high as 125 percent of the median home price in a market area, or 175 percent of the conforming loan limit for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- currently $417,000. In addition, the HUD Secretary could raise limits by another $100,000 if local conditions required such a move. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In effect, southern California, where FHA loan applications have been almost nonexistent in recent years, could conceivably see a new wave of jumbo FHA mortgages in the $700,000 range and beyond. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Meanwhile, the Senate Banking committee last Wednesday reported out its version of an FHA reform bill, but with much tighter loan limits - $417,000 maximum - and a 1.5 percent minimum cash down payment, down from the current 3 percent minimum. The full Senate is expected to approve the Banking committee's bill soon, sending the FHA issue to a House-Senate conference committee to work out the differences. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What's likely to emerge in the final bill sent to the president in the coming weeks? At the very minimum, Congress is now almost certain to make FHA competitive again in high-cost markets. A $417,000 limit for California would still be well below the state's median home price in the mid-$500,000s. But it would provide potentially tens of thousands of home buyers an attractive, consumer-friendly alternative to what they've got now. The huge gap between the House and Senate loan ceilings will need to be bridged in the upcoming conference. There may also be pressure to raise Fannie's and Freddie's limits during Senate floor debate or through a separate bill -- opening the door to at least a temporary "jumbo" program for FHA, Fannie and Freddie. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are some potential minefields facing conferees however: The House version of the bill contains a proposal from Financial Services committee chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) to tap into FHA premium revenues to help finance a new National Housing Trust Fund for affordable housing activities. Separate legislation from chairman Frank would also tap into revenues of Fannie and Freddie. The Bush administration opposes siphoning off FHA resources for the Fund, and the Senate did not include the concept in its bill. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Another sticky issue: The Senate bill prohibits "down payment assistance" for FHA loans involving "anyone party to the transaction." That would presumably cut off dozens of nonprofit groups around the country that now provide such assistance. The House bill imposes some restrictions on down payment assistance providers, but does not ban them. &lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The House bill authorizes FHA loan terms up to 40 years, but the Senate bill is silent on that issue. The Senate bill allows FHA to use "risk based pricing" on all loans where borrowers make less than a 3 percent down payment -- a provision favored by the Bush Administration. The Senate bill has no language on the subject, but some Republicans are strongly opposed to allowing FHA to directly compete with private mortgage insurance firms for borrowers who present varying levels of default risk.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</content>

After a slight wait while the server cleaned the table, we had the opportunity to talk to one of the Owners making Mimosas (they looked enticing... as it was a warm day) and we had a chance to really observe the ambiance- very pleasing.&amp;nbsp; All of us orderded the very same thing-- Eggs Benedict-- Yum, Yum&amp;nbsp; - from a varied breakfast menu.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If you are looking to explore the same experience while in the Palm Coast area, try &lt;STRONG&gt;"La Piazza Cafe" at &lt;A href="http://www.europeanvillageusa.com/"&gt;European Village Resort&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;. Breakfast and lunch served&amp;nbsp; 7 days a week from 7am - 3 pm.&amp;nbsp; Dinner served 5pm.&amp;nbsp; Tuesday- Sunday.&amp;nbsp; Reservation accepted (386) 246-6366.&amp;nbsp; Note: the prices are resonable and the service was what you would expect from an excellent cafe.&lt;/DIV&gt;</content>
