Exhibit 99.1

 
July 8, 2015
 
Dear One World Stockholder:
 
Over the past few weeks, we have received several inquiries related to the company share structure and concerns of aggressive selling into the market over the last few weeks. As part of our efforts to grow and maintain the support of our shareholders, I have decided to issue this brief letter to address some of the inquiries.
 
Q: Are any of the executives or the Founders of One World selling their personal shares?
 
A: No. Although they are eligible to remove the restrictions from issued stock, all of the company executives, Board Members and the Founders still hold restricted shares that cannot be sold on the open market.
 
Q: Why are the company funders diluting so much and hurting the stock price?
 
A: We have no control over the selling habits of shareholders.  However, the company does have control over the process it is currently engaged in to eliminate the historically aggressive selling of shares into our market by previous funders of One World. While this strategy has taken some time it is one that is working and we are continuously making progress.
 
Q: What is the company’s plan to stop taking money from funders who have been aggressive in their selling?
 
A: The plan going forward is to continue to consolidate and eliminate debt, increase revenues and raise capital from equity funders who do not engage in aggressive selling practices that tend to have a negative impact on the stock price.
 
As a shareholder in this company and its CEO, I hope that the information provided above will bring some clarity to questions regarding share structure. While it is not possible for us to address every shareholder concern or question I strongly believe that transparency is paramount to the development and maintenance of a strong and long lasting relationship. We will continue to provide information to the investing public above and beyond what is required for filing purposes.
 
Thank you all for your support of this company and we look forward to exciting prospects for the future.
 

 
Sincerely,
 
 

 
 

 

 
Corinda Joanne Melton
