Jul 2005 101744 0500 Dear All! Hi, First of
all I am really sorry for the sad incidence. I
fully agree that plagiarism is indeed an acute
problem. The said paper was prepared by the
student but I should have been more careful. I
regret the omission on my part and offer my
sincere apologies. Furthermore, I assure all of
you that I will be more careful in future so as
not to repeat the incidence. Regards

Subject RE Plagairism Date Fri, 22 Jul 2005
202827 0500 Dear Mr. Bruce Schneier! Hi, I
have written to the people concerned in this case
and offer my sincere apologies. I have contacted
the co-authors. These were the students that were
working with me and as a supervisor I failed to
properly check the validity of the paper. Already
I have sent an email to apologize to all
concerned and as such I regret the omission on my
part. The students have also sent an email to
you and all concerned regarding this. I am at a
loss of words to explain my feelings right now,
but one thing is for sure, I sincerely regret the
error. In the end I have no way to justify this,
but I am once again asking for forgiveness from
your side. That's the whole episode and I wish
that this would not happen in the first place.
Please accept my apologies again and if possible
tell me what I should do? Regards
