| I'm happy to receive your comments or suggestions by e-mail, but
please put something in the subject line to indicate that your message
is a Rathbone-related question or comment. Like many other people, I am
inundated by junk mail. I will not open e-mails with nothing in the
subject line, or something like "Hi," "Hello," or "Hi there." Thanks, Marcia |
