One of the first things I learned about internet a long time ago: if all
letters in a message are in caps, then the author ("STAFF OF FEDERAL
MINISTRY OF FINANCE"?) is not a particularly bright person. Not to mention
spelling, grammar, the language used, and the fact that 50% (1 of 2) of the
referees have "DISAPPEARED"... Well, whoever falls for this does not
deserve his $$$ anyway.
