Melissa:
If I saw that on a document, I might wonder "limited to whom?" Perhaps
you'd have more luck if you were more specific about who can see it and
who can't:
PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL
Not to be distributed outside XXX Inc.
CONFIDENTIAL - Distribution limited to XXX Inc. Engineering
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL - Distribute outside XXX Inc. only under NDA
"FROM ALL OF US" BIRTHDAY CARD FOR JOE INSIDE - Don't ask Joe to sign
it
-Andrew
=== Andrew Warren - awarren -at- synaptics -dot- com
=== Synaptics, Inc - Santa Clara, CA
