Notable Quotes 2
The SDNY USA Geoffrey Berman wants a notice to go out with two paragraphs only. The introduction and the added text. He was very specific on what he wants.
What we can do is have the Help Desk manually remove the standard VNS closing paragraphs from the letter for each of the registrants.
