Re: [doc] BTI Info.

["Dave Redfern" <d.n.redfern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the address to apeal to?   I don't own a D yet but want the 
option of importing one in the future so  shouldn't I write in as 
well.  There are about 211 members of this group so potentially 211 
letters of appeal go go in.  Anybody any ideas or thoughts on what 
content the appeal letters should contain (facts, figures and 
references etc)for maximum effect?

I suppose the good exchange rate between the pound & the dollar has 
made it more affordable to import so maybe there have been more of 
them and thats made them sit up and take notice.

Regards

Dave
