I can sympathise with you, but I would have simply signed it and then ignored it... If they whinged later, you could always claim you signed it under duress... On Wed, 2003-01-22 at 20:31, Donn aka N5XWB wrote:

As you do not mention any time when this happened, only conclusion can be that this was when the world started sanctions against SA because of the apartheid regime. If I had been running a business at the time, with no SA customers, I would have had no problem signing such a document. Bit harsh of them running you out of business for not signing though.

The funniest thing is that when S.A. had apatheid regime its economy was in a very good shape, despite all these silly international sanctions. When this crook Nelson Mandella took the power, the country economy collapsed in a matter of months. Now S.A. among other African poorest countries begs for money and every fith of its citizens infected with AIDS. White population is escaping from S.A. in great numbers. S.A. corrupt government take away lands from the white farmers who provided food for the whole country. Just recently S.A. started to beg for help with food. ------------------- though.
