Dear Manager,

(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO,Thanks)

This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China.
We received an application from Huake Ltd on January 5, 2015. They want to register " anabela-artist " as their Internet Keyword and " anabela-artist .cn "、" anabela-artist .com.cn " 、" anabela-artist .net.cn "、" anabela-artist .org.cn " domain names etc.., they are in China domain names. But after checking it, we find "anabela-artist " conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?

Best Regards,

Jim

Dear Manager ,

Based on your company having no relationship with them, we have suggested they should choose another name to avoid this conflict but they insist on this name as CN domain names (cn/ com.cn/ net.cn/ org.cn) and internet keyword on the internet. In our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company and register it to promote his company.
According to the domain name registration principle: The domain names and internet keyword which applied based on the international principle are opened to companies as well as individuals. Any companies or individuals have rights to register any domain name and internet keyword which are unregistered. Because your company haven't registered this name as CN domains and internet keyword on the internet, anyone can obtain them by registration. However, in order to avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner has priority to make this registration in our audit period. If your company is the original owner of this name and want to register these CN domain names (cn/ com.cn/ net.cn/ org.cn) and internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us. We can send an application form and the price list to you and help you register these within dispute period.

Kind regards

Jim

New Year 2015 & Brush Strokes Fine Art LLC

Happy New Year to all of you!   Once again I would like to thank you for your notes, messages, emails, hugs, wishes, and for sharing so many personal stories with me throughout the years.  

This past year was filled with many wonderful opportunities and accomplishments.  I earned multiple awards for quality and professional service.  I published articles, both nationally and internationally, in how to professionally care for artwork.  I was also published by our exclusive Virginia magazine, Elan. Truly, it has been an incredible year for Brush Strokes Fine Art LLC.

Thanks to so many of you, over 100 paintings in watercolors, acrylics, pastels, oils, and mixed media were sold last year alone.  I personally custom framed over 50 amazing pieces for private collectors, repeated VIP's (those that have supported me throughout the years), and Angie's List.  Additionally, I completed 14 restorations which is an all-time high for a year.  Restorations are usually pieces that require 7-11 weeks to complete, depending on the study and work.  While it has been a great year, I have been busy, busy, busy. 

In October, I celebrated my 15th Year in business.  Your friendships have been very special to me throughout those 15 years.  So many of you have supported me in so many ways and recently through Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, Angie’s List and by phone.  Thank you for your unending support and friendship. 

 I would like to take this opportunity to extend my services in custom framing, commissioned art (portraits of family, pets, homes), fine art cleaning and restoration of your most memorable pieces, and any custom work you need to have done to an old painting (including bringing it to your home and putting  it up for you).  If you are planning to pack and move, I will also provide the materials and pack all your artwork to have it ready for the movers--I understand the concern in having aged and special memories packed away by someone you don't know. I am always a call away and I hope to be able to serve you for many years to come. 

For those of you in the Maryland area, I will be coming back to Rio Washingtonian January 12th through January 26th, 2015.  You can find me where Lowe's Theaters are located.  You can go to www.anabela-artist.com/shows/ to see the times and dates.
