Alldis is applying to register (  xamax  ) as their domain names and 
Internet brand(  xamax  ) in Hong Kong and also in Asia on 
2008-11-17. During our auditing procedure we find out that the

to that word. As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we 
hereby suspect the alleged John Alldis to be a domain or trademark 
grabber. Hence we need you confirmation. whether this alleged John 
Alldis is your business partner. and you do authorize him to register 
these domains,Please contact with me asap in order to prevent some 
guy from abusing your trademarks and the company names.

This is a letter for confirmation. If the mentioned third party is 
your business partner or distributor in Asia, please DO NOT reply. We 
will automatically confirm application from your business partner 
after this audit procedure.

In addition,I must declare that we have time limited for one person 
or one company's registration. It is just 10 days. If your company 
has no response to us within the dispute period,we will 
unconditionally authorized the application of John Alldis.

[But there is a Gloucester Road in Wan Chai.  And I went along it to 
get to the Bledisloe Cup match a couple of weeks ago.  Dropping into 
the said organisation's offices may have been more entertaining than 
the match was.]
