Letter from Citigroup General Counsel to cmkxpics.com Link to original e-mail "screenshot" It has come to the attention of Citigroup/Smith Barney that your website contains photographs--specifically in the section reflecting photos from the "Phoenix Race"--depicting a "Citigroup/Smith Barney" logo on a CMKX racecar, with a legend identifying the individuals in the photo as a "Citigroup Rep and UC". Please be advised that any reference to Citigroup and/or Smith Barney in connection with CMKX, in any capacity, was, and is, unauthorized. "Citigroup" "Smith Barney" and the "Citigroup Umbrella Logo" are registered trademarks owned by Citigroup Inc., and those marks were used without the permission or approval of Citigroup. The person identified in the photographs as a "Citigroup Rep" was not, and is not, authorized to represent Citigroup in connection with use of Citigroup's registered marks. Citigroup has never sponsored, does not sponsor, and has no intention of sponsoring CMKX or CMKXtreme Racing. This morning, Citigroup issued the following Announcement, which can be found on the website "smithbarney.com": "April 8th, 2005 - Smith Barney Not Connected with CMKM Diamonds: It has come to our attention that various website chat room postings have suggested a relationship between Citigroup and/or Smith Barney and CMKM Diamonds (Symbol: CMKX) and CMKXtreme Racing. Please be advised that there is no relationship or connection whatsoever between Citigroup or Smith Barney and CMKM Diamonds or CMKXtreme Racing, and any statements to the contrary are false." Citigroup hereby demands that CMKXpics.com cause those photographs referencing Citigroup and/or Smith Barney and/or any of its affiliates, agents or employees to be immediately removed from its website. In addition, Citigroup demands that CMKXpics.com cease and desist from making any statement which states or implies that there is any relationship or connection between CMKM Diamonds and/or CMKXtreme Racing or any of their affiliates, agents, employees, officers or directors and Citigroup, Smith Barney or any of their affiliates, agents, or employees. In the event that CMKXpics.com does not immediately comply with this demand, Citigroup will take all necessary and appropriate legal action to ensure that these demands are met. Please feel free to call, or e-mail, me if you have any questions. Very truly yours, James S. Goddard Director Associate General Counsel www.cmkxpics.com/citiletter.htm |
