AWE PLEASE!
BECTA$ are no.1 game keeper turned poacher.
Like the last time, these letters are cover for something they are up to
behind our backs.
Look at the gist of message hidden inside the letter.
We tried, but failed, so despite trying ODF,
we will use OOXML like the good little bum boys we were
to micoshaft the last time.
Please report us to the European Commission - that won't matter
because we will take the bribes and resign having sold out the
entire UK education system with a contract to micoshaft with
such steeply expensive get out clauses, that if you ever
try undoing what we did, dim wits like you are gonna pay
micoshaft double and tripple through penaly clauses.
There is sweet FA you can do about it.
Tata - it was nice knowing poor people like you - our chaufer driven
cars are waiting to take us to the bank.
