Subject: (your domain name here) trademark squatting

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are a Network Solutions Company, mainly dealing with domain name registration and internet intellectual property rights protection. on Oct. 24,2010 we received a formal application from a local company in your country who is applying to register several domains, using “your domain name here”as the internet brand. After investigation,we find that you are the original user of the internet brand. Such similar domain cases may involve your trademark and company name,and may cause website confusion and conflicts. For a responsible attitude, we inform you here and ask for your opinion. If you don't mind,we will finish registration for the third company.
Regards,
Cathy wang
