The reason for this post is that I have either worked with you on your personal computer and/or you know that I work on computers during my off hours (i.e. 6pm to 11pm)

I have made some changes on how I will be working with my after hour clients from now on… please see below for the rate changes.

Also, if you need help with your computers and/or networks, please visit the site listed below to request help.  I will respond with 24 hours to your request.

Lastly, if you know someone that might need my assistance, please feel free to forward this email to them.

Thank you!
