Dear CEO,
We are the domain registration and solution center in China. On September
25, 2020, we received an application from Hongxin Ltd requested "fyi" as
their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (fyi.cn, fyi.com.cn,
fyi.net.cn, fyi.org.cn). But after checking it, we find this name conflict
with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter
better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this
company is your distributor in China?
