Dear Jouni,
The registration of turku.com involves our internet and website project
in which our company has already spent cost of USD 1,000.
Turku.com is very important to this project since any user in the world
just type turku in their web-browser, e.g. Netscape, will go directly to
our website because "http:\\www." & ".com\" will automatically be added to
the front and end of turku by default. At that time, even an uneducated
70-years old man or a small kid can visit our website easily.
very truly yours,
Loa Kwok Leung
