                              Un-Colorblind with an Unconventional
                              Greeting of Love: Billets Doux, LLC, & Love Letters inc.

                              Brother and sister team, Gregg and Ry Zimmerman,
                              founded Billets Doux, a multicultural greeting
                              card and luxury gift company in 2002; the two grew
                              up in a multicultural household with both siblings
                              and parents of diverse ethnicities.

                              Portland, Oregon (Billets Doux, LLC) November 22,
                              2006 – It’s hard to believe in the 21st century
                              the world has yet to fully embrace diversity. With
                              this in mind, brother and sister team, Gregg and
                              Ry Zimmerman founded Billets Doux, LLC. Born in
                              2002, Billets Doux is a multicultural greeting
                              card and luxury gift company. “We are proud to
                              celebrate our society’s diversity, especially in
                              times like these when our country is divided while
                              at war. We do not shy away from the “touchy
                              issues” and we hope to show people that it is okay
                              to be who you are.”

                              Gregg and Ry grew up in a multicultural household
                              with both siblings and parents of diverse
                              ethnicities. It was this un-colorblind upbringing
                              that cultivated or cultured their reality. “To be
                              colorblind is to ignore the aesthetic display of a
                              cultures beauty. Therefore, we like to say
                              un-colorblind.”

                              “Our cards reflect our lives; meaning that
                              everything we have been through will be
                              artistically displayed on each and every card.
                              With our signature ‘Love Letters’ collection we
                              have cards for an array of occasions to include
                              edgy titles such as: ‘Go Shorty… It’s Your
                              Birthday.’, ‘Bonnie & Clyde’, ‘Forever’, ‘Mini
                              Me’, ‘Adios’ and our trademark ‘Colorful Collage’
                              to name a few.”

                              “Whether or not you as an individual support the
                              war in Iraq, it is certain that we all support our
                              loved ones, and those who protect our virtues. Our
                              Braveheart collection was designed to do just
                              that; honor those who are present and those who
                              have passed by incorporating their images and life
                              stories on each card.”

                              “We are currently marketing our cards on MySpace™;
                              they can be purchased on our website as well as
                              select boutiques in the Portland area.” Staying
                              ahead of the trend, Gregg and Ry have received a
                              great response to their cards on MySpace™ where it
                              seems everyone has a different favorite.

                              To answer the frequently asked question; How did
                              you guys come up with this idea? “It’s easy. We
                              didn’t… This is just who we are. This is our
                              reality and we’re just doing what we know and see
                              around us. We didn’t come up with an idea for some
                              company, we were born into a culture; a diverse
                              American culture. Furthermore, we saw a gap in a
                              market that seemed to be completely ignoring the
                              world as we knew it. We were determined to bring
                              quality and diversity together in gifts that
                              reflect not only ourselves but the people that we
                              buy them for.”

                              This brother and sister duo seems to have thought
                              of it all and is certainly covering all bases. It
                              is fair to say that we will probably be sending
                              Billets Doux to our loved ones in the very near
                              future. Watch out Hallmark™ these two have got you
                              in their headlights!
