Dear Friend:

   Thank you for contacting my Congressional Office. Due to the tremendous
   increase in emails I receive from Americans across the country, I have
   closed this account. However, you can continue to email me by visiting
   my web site, [1]http://www.house.gov/writerep. Please resend your
   message there. This format allows me to receive emails directly from
   constituents of the First Congressional District and I will be able to
   provide you with a response to any problem or question you may have.

   Again, thank you contacting my office.

   Sincerely,
   MIKE THOMPSON
   Member of Congress
   First District of California
