Ben Hi!

You have no idea how happy I am to hear from you. Intended to contact
you for some time now.

I am building a South African portal for South Africans worldwide and
actually using your very specific feeds at this time.
http://www.Madibaweb.com/newsletter/newsletter.html. My problem was
that the text is large and do not know how to make it smaller. 

Running two sites as this time, the brand new one (1 week old) is
particular for this purpose http://66.40.161.73/content.html.

We really should do something together, if you wish, that is. Thank you
for your advice, and hpe that we have contact in the future.

Regards,
Lilian
PS. Did you know Mohammed Amin, I use to work at Reuters JHB and found
him to be an extraordinay person.
