The following letter is directed towards subscribers of The Atlantis Project/Oceania mailing list:
 
Hi,
 
This is Eric Klien from The Atlantis Project. A project which ended in 1994, but even today continues to receive positive feedback.
 
In retrospect, the biggest problem concerning The Atlantis Project was lack of interest. Lack of interest and the fact that its precepts were based in Libertarian politics. The Libertarian party is small in number and too few members have the financial resources to bankroll their beliefs. The poor performance of Libertarian candidates throughout the nation is reflective of these sad facts.
 
I put a huge amount of effort into The Atlantis Project and the lessons learned from that experience have come to good use. I now run a fairly large web hosting company, and have for the past six years.
 
My reason for contacting you again, so many years after the Atlantis Project has ended, is that I have come upon a new endeavor that concerns all people, even Libertarians. In fact, this project is a humanitarian effort to preserve the future of all humankind. I have already procured considerable funding and will launch this project in the first quarter of 2002. You can read about it at lifeboat.com. Since this project has yet to be launched you can neither contribute money nor purchase related products at this time, but you can subscribe to our free newsletter.
 
In an effort to further this cause, I have made an appointment in 2002 to speak with Sir Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airlines. Wish me luck!
 
Eric
 
P.S. Over the years, in case of renewed interest, I've kept in touch with many supporters. For example, the billing supervisor of my web hosting company used to be the general manager of The Atlantis Project. Well, guess who joined the Lifeboat Foundation team!
