Subject: Re: Mother's Maiden Name
Dear all
I do not have a very good memory for passwords, PIN numbers etc and
was wondering if I could distribute my list to you all for safe keeping and
if I ever forget them I could send out an email and receive enough replies
to remind me.

Thank you and kind regards
