Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

In the last week GATA has received a couple
of contributions by bank wire, one from
Britain and one from Switzerland. We never
get a full name and address on such
contributions even as we would like to
acknowledge them formally, so if the donors
would contact me at GATAComm@aol.com [1], I'd
appreciate it.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
