Subject: Attn Adobe: Pay Dmitry's Sklyarov's bail

To whom it may concern:

This is a request for Adobe to pay the cost of bail for Dmitry
Sklyarov.

If not for the unconscionable actions of Adobe Mr. Sklyarov would not
be languishing in jail awaiting trial on baseless charges levied under
poorly conceived and self-contradictory US legislation.

Adobe's watery press release makes it clear that Adobe's management
has no remorse or misgivings concerning this matter -- so long as the
resulting bad press subsides -- but the public image damage has
already occurred. Adobe's customers perceive it as irresponsible and
its actions reprehensible.

Paying Dmitry's bail would help to amend some of the damage caused by
Adobe's short-sighted, selfish, and negligent actions; while allowing
the wrongfully accused Sklyarov to enjoy his freedom until he can
address the ludicrous criminal charges filed against him.

Sincerely,
Rick Bradley
CTO EastCore, Inc.
