agents, GCB Limited, to correspond with you directly in relation to the above matter in
place of ACS Law Solicitors.

correspondence and communication to GCB Limited and not us, as we are no longer
instructed to correspond or communicate with you.

proceedings, but until then you should direct all enquiries and payments to GCB Limited.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully

others known to you to use your internet connection for a purpose that included infringement of our client's
copyright, or by failing adequately or at all to secure and control the use of your internet connection to a
reasonable standard so as to allow another person to use your internet connection to infringe our client's
copyright. Whichever of these scenarios may apply, our client holds you directly responsible.
