Siemens Update 3

After writing to the Bosch Siemens Home Group Chairman/Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Sales and Marketing Officer in Germany on 5 November 2012, and hearing nothing from them, and after receiving the dismissive letters from the South African operation's firm of attorneys, Erasmus De Klerk inc, I received an email from these attorneys today, which is included below.

It is an unsolicited and therefore questionable email, addressing me as their client, and showing that they have added me to their newsletter mailing list without my permission. Does this suggest that they are:
  • trying to attract me as a client (which would seem odd considering their disrespect for my work)
  • managing their database with little if any discretion
  • prone to poor synergy between departments
  • intent on maintaining humour in their otherwise humorless dealings with me
  • subject to the web of cosmic justice unfolding
  • in need of my help as much as their client BSHG
  • simply unaware?

One can only wonder, or perhaps come one's own conclusion...
