May I make some reccomendations here.  There are some places where it is 
completely appropriate to poste something like this, particulary the 
soc.legal news group.  I did not request this information, and I don't 
appreciate recieving it in a personal mailbox as a direct posting.

I would also suggest you subscribe to some of the mailing lists and 
LISTEN before you post.  One that announces appropriate lists is to mail to
listserv@psuvm.psu.edu
Type the following into the first line of the message text
subscribe GovDoc-L 
That will announce mailing lists which would have subscribers who may 
want trademark assistance.

An unsolicited broadcast solicitation like this is likely to net you 
several thousand responses of unhappy recipients.  Some may even attach 
very large datafiles to their responses.  America Online may pull your 
plug if you keep bringing in email "bricks".

If I want legal advice or information I will see who is advertizing in 
soc.legal, I suggest you consiter posting your announcement there.
You will reach a highly qualified audience who will be very interested in 
your service.
