Windows 9x.
A recent version of Internet Explorer.
A recent version of Outlook Express.
Windows Paint.

This isn't necessarily the best way to do this, but it uses tools that most people have.  It creates a picture file in the BMP format which results in a rather large file, about 600K.  So if you decide to try this, and send it via email using a dial up connection, it may take 4 minutes to send.

Alternatively, you could print the picture, mark it up with a pen, and US Mail it to me.  Email me and I'll send you my mailing address.
