[Administrator of mailing lists of CIG]

Dear Mrs. Zaremba,
when sorting spam out of the Event at CIG list approval 
folder I mistakenly
deleted one of your announcements. I am sorry for this 
:-(.

In the case you would like to resend it, please feel free 
to do so.

Best regards,

Peter Novak, Event at CIG administrator and moderator.
