Mr. Mains, when you received the email from Russell, what did you do with it? In your case we clearly see that Russell had indicated that this report was not to be circulated. When you saw this line in the email did it not ring a bell for you? I can understand Ms. Hamilton, who says that she only looked at the email on her BlackBerry and did not see the warning, according to what she tells us. However in your case, the line is clearly there. Let me read out the French version to you: "I said to myself that you would perhaps like to take a look at this while it is still at the draft stage. For reasons that are obvious enough, please do not circulate this document". It seems to me that in this case you should have reacted. What was your reaction when you received this email?
