Greetings from snowy Toronto,

FreshBooks is pleased to announce the upcoming release of
Version 4.2. This version brings a number of improvements
to our service. Please be advised you may experience a
short period of downtime between 7:00 AM and 8:30 AM ET
tomorrow - Wednesday December 19, 2007.

=======================================================
VERSION 4.2 - FRESHBOOKS GETS EASIER
=======================================================

Version 4.2 will allow you to:

>> CREATE INVOICES YOUR WAY
You can now add a re-usable item to your invoice on the fly
and edit your invoice number to anything you want (including
letters...if that is your thing). You will also now be able
to add and edit your taxes directly from your invoice page.

>> CREATE PROJECTS WITHOUT A HASSLE
Hassle is probably a bad choice of words since using FreshBooks
makes billing painless...so let's just say creating projects
just got easier, because version 4.2 now lets you create new
tasks right on the new project page.

>> COLLECT PAYMENTS WITH AMAZON FPS
Need more options to collect money faster? The new Flexible
Payment Service (FPS to the cool kids) from Amazon is the
newest method to get paid with FreshBooks.

=======================================================
API UPDATE - TRACK YOUR TIME FROM ANYWHERE
=======================================================

At long last, you can now add and edit time using the API. Along
with version 4.2 comes an update to the FreshBooks application
programming interface (API). We have added the ability to log
time as well as retrieve logged time. You can read more about
the API on our developers blog.

=======================================================
KILLER RESOURCE - FREELANCESWITCH
=======================================================

Are you a freelance designer looking for killer advice from
people who understand you? Lately, we have been following
FreelanceSwitch.com, a community of freelancers just like you.
FreelanceSwitch has a habit of writing great feature articles
and finding useful resources. What's more: they're also a
FreshBooks customer!

=======================================================
WELCOMING MYLEEN TO THE TEAM
=======================================================

Many of you have probably already received an email from a new
member of the FreshBooks team - Myleen Bacarra. Myleen joined
our team in October and like all other new additions to the
team she has been handling a lot of our email support. Myleen
has an in-depth background in computer science. Welcome
Myleen, it is great to have you on board!

If you want to welcome Myleen yourself, you can send her a note.

=======================================================
SUMMARY – ITEMS WORTH MENTIONING TWICE!
=======================================================

FreshBooks is scheduled to be upgraded this Wednesday,
December 19, 2007 between 7:00 AM and 8:30 AM EST. You may
experience intermittent downtime during this period.

Once released, complete details concerning new features and
