Hi Haytham,
I hope all is well. It has been a while since I last heard from you. I spoke with Rami few days ago and he said that you might be having an open house party. Let us know, may be Nabil and I could come.
On another note, I just received the below email today. I obviously was not aware of this infringement since I was using our main company Copyright materials, but it turned out that they copied it from mars.com.
I will definitely fix that and make sure that our own version will be uploaded onto our website, but what should I write back to the sender? I just wanted to ask you before I do anything so that I don't make things worse.
Thanks,
Raed---------- Forwarded message ----------
