We have been alluding to a new opportunity
which we feel could make you wealthy. This is the most exciting new company
in the bio-med industry we have seen in years. As previously mentioned,
we will notify everyone 48 hours ahead of time with a story about a man
who was cured of a disease which had impacted his life.
This new profile will not be released
this weekend. We are hoping to release this exciting new idea one week
from Friday, September 28th. We will release our edition about the disease
48 hours before the release of the profile.

Envoy Communications
(NASDAQ: ECGI) In the News |

Envoy continues buying back
its shares in the open market as reported to us yesterday by Geoff Genovese,
President and CEO. Geoff informed us the company bought back an additional
240,000 shares in the past week, and buy backs will continue until the
company has repurchased the 2 million shares previously announced. Management
at Envoy continues to believe the share buy-back program represents
the best use of its capital with the stock depressed to absurd levels.
Envoy's balance sheet remains
strong with about $12 million(cdn) in cash and only $3.6 million(cdn)
in long term debt.
The September 4th monthly valuation
update on the Advertising and Publishing from Merrill Lynch indicates
the group is trading at an average of 11 times 2001 EBITDA.
At the $1.50 level, Envoy
is only trading at 5 times 2001 estimated EBITDA (about $.50 per
share CDN, $.30 per share US). Their 2001 year end is the end of September-
two weeks from now.
Based on the industry average
in today's market, Envoy is worth twice where it is trading today.
Moreover, as further evidence of the company's financial strength, the
company announced today its $40 million (CDN) line of credit supplied
by Toronto Dominion and Fleet National Banks.
We continue to believe Envoy
is absurdly undervalued, and believe it represents bargain basement shopping
for investors who can see past the current turmoil. Here is the full text
of today's press release for your review:
