[EB] Offence under US code Title 47, Sec 227(b) (1) (C)

[Dr. Klaus Oed]

Sehr geehrter Herr Rasche,

heute habe ich diese Mail von Ihnen erhalten - können Sie mir bitte sagen
warum?
Es ist wirklich interessant, wie hart in den USA gegen unerwünschte
Werbemail vorgegangen wird und da wir einen NewsLetter herausgeben, sind wir
immer dankbar, über solche Tendenzen zu erfahren und entsprechend vorsichtig
beim Versand. Wir kündigen den ersten Erhalt schriftlich (Papier und Email)
an und fordern den Adressaten explizit auf, eine einfache Abmeldung zu
schicken wenn keine weitere Zusendung erwünscht ist.
Wir versenden die NewsLetter über unsere eigene Mailadresse
(news at globuscom.de)
Diese Adresse ist nicht in der Liste enthalten.

Bitte seien Sie so nett und klären mich auf.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Dr. Klaus Oed
Geschäftsführer
