I think what happened to you is atrocious – but no one asked me – go figure. You will always have an
ally here – your work ethic is exceptional & I think your technical skills are a tremendous asset. You
will end up in a better place, I have no doubt. Let me know if I can help in any way, at any time. And
believe me, if we get to the next step I have NO IDEA who could be brought in to move this
forward. Stay tuned…and I will keep you posted – please do the same.
Merry Christmas – remember to enjoy your holiday – this too shall pass…

Gina,
I am glad we were able to finish this project. I think you have a very good offering that should keep VZB
in the game. Just remember myself and my family in your thoughts during the holiday season. I still think
I will land on my feet somewhere. It was a pleasure working with you. By the way, my new suit can be
sent to the office! . I would be more than happy to come back next year (after January 7th, 2011) to
explain to Chrysler, if necessary, how we came up with our offering.
Best wishes to you and your family during this holiday season
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Best Regards,
Mike Buatti

Ok Gina,
Here is the final quote, margin analysis and a new report showing the discounts applied by Cisco and Tandberg.
Hope this is everything that you need. See caveats on second to last page of quotes that I added.
For a CPE Finance Package Rate by VCI, add approximately 6.5% to the overall total (excluding Mexico – since
we are asking Chrysler to buy it) [USA quote only]; then, multiply by .0227 as your factor. You will then have a
number that Jim will be happy with.
I added a new report so that you could see the 57% off from Cisco and the 50% off from Tandberg (Not to be
shared with anyone else buy us VZB folk!)

Subject: RE: Sorry for the Delay...Found Some Savings On The Side of Mexico To Offer Up To You...
We did not run any actual Premisys quote for Mexico – correct? Overall that is only a 6% markup – and
with burden & NDP floor requirements I think it is too low?!?
