Dick Smith Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Just the illiterate (or semi-literate) nature of the emails would make me doubt its veracity. Thoughts of disinfected long sticks come to mind.RegardsDickBONO ANIMO ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Forget them Peter. Anyone who reckons he is a bigwig in a business, dealing with the public and can't write or spell properly should be avoided like the plague.Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
