Re: Iceland Wins Icesave Cases
Just wanted to give you my best congratulations on winning the Icesave case. Yours is a country I have greatly admired since I first visited five years ago, and I have also greatly admired how Iceland has handled the global banking crisis over the years, standing up for what was right, instead of what was easy.
Warming regards,
