I am curious about the source of funding for your effort. As I'm sure you know, PR Newswire is not a free service. To give your effort credibility I would urge you to provide your readers with some information in this regard. Otherwise, we might just suspect that you are merely acting as an undisclosed agent of influence for some nationalistic, repatriation seeking foreign government, like that of Greece.
Sincerly,
Peter Tompa
Is that a genuine suspicion, or is that an attempt to create an association in the mind of the reader without having to find any evidence?
