Payment for ru.glasnet overdue 46 days!

Dear Roderik,

i'm very sorry for the delay though i ain;t even sure if we got any bill
from you :-(.  did you fax it or send over a regular (snail) mail?  in
the latter case it may take *monthes* to get delivered.  yes, post
services in the country work very slow.

anyway, i'll ask our bookkeepers and billing group if they received any
letters from you.

please, gime a couple of days to figure out where the problem might be.

sincerely,
alexz
