| Dear Associate, |
Here at Caveon we continue to grow, and while growth has been extraordinary this year we can always do more -- and to do more I'd like to solicit your help.
How would you like to be the first on your block to get the impossibly small Apple iPod nano? Refer a friend to Caveon and we'll enter your name into a drawing to win a shiny new 4 GB iPod nano; a great holiday gift for a friend, a family member, or (most likely) yourself.
So, be on the lookout for any testing organization (even your own) that could benefit from Caveon's test security services such as the Caveon Security Audit or Caveon Data Forensics, send us the reference, and you could be the proud owner of an iPod nano. Click here to refer a friend.
Regards,
Don Sorensen
VP of Marketing
