Bravo, il est parfait ce mail. De plus il a juste les fautes d'ortho qu'il 
faut pour prouver que t'es bien suisse, LOL!

Je trouve ton initiative une super bonne idee, ca m'amuserait beaucoup de 
voir ce petit projet se realiser!

Conclusion de ton mail: NON a l'Europe, et donc par extention a mon esprit 
largement borne: NON a l'Onu!
