Re: Email Confidentiality Statement

The language you have employed is at best minimal and will not discourage most offenders. There is not much in the way of unilateral language that will have the effect you desire. Depending on what it is that you are trying to protect there other steps that can be taken to protect your property. Procedures like copyright, trademark, patent and registration with third party custodial services and the notices that are suggested by those protectives, will serve you best.

If your business is important, you should consult with the services of an attorney.

Please feel free to contact this firm if you think we can be of service.
