Now I am pretty sure I must have written "Dear Milos" on several occasions, since this is what I normally would write. I hope it was fine. Or may be these mails have gone to trash. I personally have my name misspelt so often that I do not care anymore. If people insist on misspelling it I try to remind tactfully.
