Dear Mr Shawn Plep,

It has come to my attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my Louisiana trademarked name NOLAGraphics. I have reserved all rights in the Work, which was first trademarked in 2004. I have registered the trademark and have included a copy for your review. I realize that you may have registered the domain names nolagraphics.info and nolagraphics.net without knowing the specifics of the law.

Upon release of the domain names to my Godaddy account I will agree stop pursuing this violation and drop the matter completely.

• nolagraphics.net whois info

These also seem to be affiliated with
nolaseo.com whois info
