I think it would be interesting to know if any single person in Germany got more than one letter, or first a letter for one investigation and than a personal visit for another one. If you get the friendly letter to give up information about your clients it already means you aren't considered a suspect. If this decision isn't made arbitrary, it should be always the same and someone who already got one of the service provider letters could feel more comfortable than one who hasn't heard anything from the authorities yet. Of course it's a decision everyone has to make himself, but I for one wouldn't mind answering the letters now and then. Fabian
