Abstract

This invention details a method of providing a more robust, guaranteed and traceable electronic delivery system for providing next generation business e-mail. Unlike ordinary e-mail that we are all accustomed to today, which is considered to be free, there exists no current electronic document delivery or e-mail having the capability to guarantee or expedite delivery. The concept is similar to that of using Fed-Ex™, DHL™, or UPS™ instead of regular mail to send an important letter or document. Large shipping providers like Fed-Ex™, DHL™, or UPS™ will charge a nominal fee for their services related to expediting the delivery, as such, the same will be applied here.

Claims

1. a method for providing guaranteed priority delivery of electronic documents through the internet and world wide web.

2. a method as in claim 1 where the electronic documents are physical hardcopies.

3. a method as in claim 1 where the electronic documents are electronic media.
