Dear CEO/Principal,
We are the department of Asian Domain Registration Service in China. I have something to confirm with you. We formally received an application on October 24 that a company which self-styled "Aso International Ltd" were applying to register "xxxxxxxxxsystems" as their Net Brand and following domain names:
Xxxxxxxxxsystems. Asia xxxxxxxxxsystems. Cn xxxxxxxxxsystems.co.in xxxxxxxxxsystems.com. Cn
Xxxxxxxxxsystems.com. Tw xxxxxxxxxsystems. Hk xxxxxxxxxsystems.in xxxxxxxxxsystems.net. Cn
Xxxxxxxxxsystems.org. Cn xxxxxxxxxsystems. Tw
After our initial checking, we have found the name were similar to your company's, so we need to check with you whether your company has authorized that company toreg ister these names. If you have authorized this, we will finish the registration at once. If you have not, please let us know within 7 workdays, so that we will handle this issue better. Out of the time limit we will unconditionally finish the registration for "Aso International Ltd".
Best Regards,
Allen Zhang

Allen,
Seriously, " After our initial checking, we have found the name were similar to your company's". I count at the most 2 letters in common between our company names. Our company name in no way even remotely bears resembelance to ASO International. Unless you simply do not understand English. If so this woud appear to be only one of your problems.
I find it unusual that ASO International, a Tokoyo based company that manufactures dental and medical devices, would be interested in obtaining domain names in countries where they (1) do not currently do business and (2) which have no resemblance to either their name or their business.
After investigation I have in fact found that this email and what you are attempting is a fraud. You research companies and attempt to find ones who do not have domain names registered in other countries and then you approach those companies in an effort to get money out of them to prevent the domain names from supposedly being assigned to someone else.
I find your attempt at extortion because thats what it is inappropriate and distasteful. I will NOT forward this to our CEO. Go try to scam someone else.
