My company - helping out our boys in Iraq

I feel like a fool for taking so long to reply and then asking for something. Yes I am great and am still out here in the Anbar Province.
I have a request that would probably get you some great mileage.
The Iraqi Police Departments here are broken up into "Districts" which would be the equivalant of "Counties" back home. In my region I am responsible for 2 Districts (Hit and Baghdadi). Each of the Districts has to EMAIL a morning report using yahoo every morning to Provincial Headquarters in Ramadi. It includes any significant events that happened the previous evening.
Ramadi constantly screams that the districts aren't reporting when I have stood right there and watched the communications officer hit send.
And on the 31st of January we will have historic Provincial Elections which will be a first for Iraq in decades.
I would like to set up both of my districts using your service so they can shove it upo Provincial's butt. I'd also like to hook up Provincial HQ but am more concerned with my Districts. Hooking up Provincial would just be a feather in MY cap and make my life easier.
Can you help me with hooking up my districts? If nothing more than just for a short time to show the Iraqis that technology can be used for their benefit.
If you send me another one of those giant stickers we can put it up in the Provincial Communications Center and have all the Iraqi operators stand in front of it too.

Also, if the Iraqis are using this to send reports to the Dept of State and they havent made their minds up about the service, they'll say "WTF! The freakin Iraqis are using this! WHY ARENT We!!!!"!

Thanks for any help,
Your friend and supporter Mark Wilson
