J..do you want to do this?? I've kept us in the 'game', participated in
earlier busiss plan reviews (that have ultimately resulted in this event for
the final 'Great 8'), etc. Vince and I plan to attend, but I think you, as a
commercial business unit leader, would be the best person to participate in
the final round.

If all is well with the weather, flights, etc, it's possible to leave Monday
morning and get there in just enough time. However, I don't think there is a
flight late enough to return the same evening.
Please let me know.

Thanks!

--Christie.

Subject: An Invitation to Judge for the Wharton Business Plan Competition -
PLEASE REPLY BY 4/20

Ms. Patrick:

We are writing to invite you to serve as a judge and/or find the appropriate
person in your organization to participate in the final round of this year's
Wharton Business Plan Competition at the Wharton Venture Fair on April 30th
from 12:00 - 6:30 p.m.

The Wharton Business Plan Competition consists of three phases that spanned
several months and judging rounds to select the top eight business plans of
the lot, dubbed the "Great Eight". The Venture Fair is the final event, where
the finalist teams will be presenting to a select panel of judges and the
Wharton community.

Participation in Phase I of this year's competition was double that of last
year as 226 student teams from across the University of Pennsylvania
submitted business concepts for judging. Seventy teams participated in Phase
II in which teams turned in 5,000-word analyses of their "product, market and
competitors." From the pool of Phase II participants, 25 teams were chosen
to submit full business plans for Phase III. Finally, the field was narrowed
to the 8 finalist teams to vie for the top prize at the Venture Fair.

We would love for you to be an integral part of our culminating event. If you
agree to be a judge, you will be presented with judging guidelines in advance
of and at the Venture Fair.

Please reply by April 20, 2001 if you wish to be a judge. We look forward to
having you on board and thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Michelle C. Toledo
