Disclaimer

It's common within financial companies to include disclaimers at the end of e-mails, stating that any information contained therein is not to be taken as any sort of guarantee or official opinion. But when those disclaimers are automatically appended to every single e-mail a person sends, one can arrive at the following absurdity:

From: [a salesperson in my company]
To: [my team]
Subject: RE: New product cash trade

THANK YOU
