Re: Coincidence or bold spammer?

[Magdalena Błaszczyk <magdalena.blaszczyk () SOFTWARE COM PL>]

Dear All,
I am really sorry you found my email SPAM. It was not. I just wanted to invite 
all of you to cooperation. Is it a sin?
hakin9 is a world wide IT security  magazine and we always need knowledgable 
authors. Is it insulting or wrong I wanted to give you a chance of appearing 
in the magazine? If I were an IT security specialist - I would love to write 
articles. 
Anyway, I am sorry for taking your time and "spamming" you.
I hope you will not think of it any longer and come back to some more 
constructive and technical topics :-)
I hope one day you have a n idea for a really nice article and you come back 
to me.
Excuse me please.
All the best
Magda
