I guess I never wrote a page for this one! ODM...

Well... Not so new, I already have 4 other pages about these type of letters asking you incredibly high sums to put your mark in their catalogue. They call you advertiser. Why would people want to advertise their trademark?! Did I miss something here?

You may want to have a look at IDM and USTMS where I put a table at the end with a list of "bad" guys like these.
