The lawyer claims the following:
Any thoughts on this?"It has come to our client's attention that you may be hosting a website utilizing the name "www.something-etc..." which website is utilizing the name of "Something Locksmith" in such a manner so as to be potentially encroaching upon my client's ownership rights to such names and other deceptively confusing to its customers. The purpose of this letter is to demand that you immediately cease and desist from any further hosting of any website utilizing the name of "Something Locksmith" which may be in violation of our client's federal trademark."
