Dear sirs and madams,

I want to cancel my account and the whole transaction
of $50 to the FreeBSD foundation.

And please give me my $1.94 back immediately latest date is
until December 31th 2001.

Reason: You charged me $ 1.94 without my confirmation !

I only pressed a continue button (not a confirmation button
to be charged a certain amount of money) on a webpage where you
told, that transactions below $100 don't need a paypal card
verification.

After simply pressing continue I got the *first time* the information
from you that you would charge me $ 1.94. Furthermore You tell me,
after pay pal card registration, I would get charged it back to my
account.

But actually 
- I never wanted to be charged $ 1.94
- I never gave you my o.k. to charge $ 1.94
- I would never have made the transaction of $50 through you
  if I would have known, that recommended is to confirm/get a
  card number and being charged automatically without confirmation.
  
After I saw this charging information, I immediately stopped everything
and thought that nothing would happen, since I didn't confirm being
charged $1.94.

But now you write to me in the e-mail below, that I already have been
charged. That's NOT FAIR !

I will immediately inform my VISA card support line and block the
transaction.

Immediately remove my account and all my personal data.
I don't allow you to keep, store or resell it !

Thanks for your kooperation.

	Andreas Klemm
