Hi Neo,

I'm back from my holiday and I see you've still not paid your debt. Isn't it funny to ask people to "show this and that in RM" without first paying me the $1,000 you once offered for a similar task?

By the way, I just noticed that your website includes a large part of the script I provided. You seem to forget that I hold the copyright for this code. I never granted you permission to use this code on your web site or for any other means than to check my claim for the $1,000. And until you pay your debt, I will not grant you that permission. I'll recheck your website in a day or two; if my code isn't removed from your site by then I'll have to consider taking legal steps.

Best, Hugo
