[HanoiLUG] Looking for partners in Vietnam

[Steve]

This the message I have sent to the hosting domain.


  Since this is a commercial message, and since I have not requested to
  be placed on your mailing list, this message constitutes an unsolicited
  communication in terms of section 45 of the Electronic Communications
  and Transactions Act (Act 25 of 2002).

  In terms of section 45(4) of this Act, this message serves as
  notification that I do not wish to receive any further communications
  from you. Failure to comply with this request constitutes a criminal
  offense in terms of the ECT Act.

  Additionally, I hereby request that you immediately disclose where you
  obtained my contact details, as per section 45(1) of the ECT Act.
  Failure to respond to this request also constitutes a criminal offense.

[Optional paragraph:
  I note that your original message did not provide me with an option to
  cancel my subscription to your mailing list, as required by section 45(1)
  of the Act. This means that you may already have committed an offense
  in terms of section 45(3) of the Act, and may be subject to prosecution.


  Should you wish to familiarise yourself with the relevant legislation,
  or check my facts, a copy of the ECT Act is available on-line via the
  Government's web site: http://www.gov.za/gazette/acts/2002/a25-02.pdf.

  Your co-operation in this matter will be appreciated,

Steven Stander
