Dear ******,

Thank you for registering with 1&1 - the leading web hosting company
worldwide.

In this e-mail you will find all the details regarding 1&1 Internet's
4-step automated authentication process.

Please note: If you cannot simultaneously go online and talk on the
phone, then please finish reading this e-mail, complete step one, and
disconnect from the Internet.

This authentication process is intended to provide you with the highest
level of security; it is comprised of four steps described below.

*************
Step 1:
*************

Open the form by clicking on https://******
and enter a 10-digit phone number where our automated authentication
system will be able to reach you within the next 30 minutes.

Please note: Only one 1&1 Professional Package can be activated per
phone number.


***************
Step 2:
***************

Within the next half hour, you will receive a call from the
automated authentication system that will announce your 4-digit PIN.
Make sure to have a pen and paper available to write down your PIN. You
will need it to set up your free Professional Package.

If you do not catch the PIN the first time, press 1 and the system will
repeat the PIN (touchtone required).


***************
Step 3:
***************

After receiving this call, you may re-establish your Internet connection
(if applicable) and click on: https******
again. Please enter your PIN when prompted. This will unlock your
Professional Package and you will soon be able to use the numerous
features the product has to offer.


***************
Step 4:
***************

Please check your mailbox for another e-mail containing the information
to log on to your Professional Package configuration in the
Control Panel.
****************************


Start the authentication process by clicking on this link:

We hope you will enjoy using your free-for-three-years 1&1 Professional
Package to increase your professional and personal success.

Sincerely,

Your 1&1 Team
