“Dear Mr Ballmer,
“I realize this is an ungainly way to communicate. This may tend
to be a bit longer than a ‘business letter’ should be, but the
things I need to speak with you about are important. I have tried
on several occasions to contact you and all attempts, to include
certified mail have seemingly failed. As I have an important matter
to discuss with you, its preponderance will not allow any further
respite.“It is my understanding that Microsoft is troubled over the
issue of its Intellectual Property possibly residing within the
code of GNU/Linux. Yes, I can understand why this would be an issue
for you…”
