Fastfile Applications

(An open email to fastfile customers. )

Dear fastfile customers,

Thanks to those of you who have sent messages of condolence, and appreciation for dad’s work with your companies. We’re grateful for these.

We’ve also received various expressions of interest in the code, and we wanted to to let you know that we will be exploring the best way to proceed, either selling the company as a whole or in parts, or licensing the software code to another company, or some other option. Rest assured we’ll do all we can to find a solution that ensures continuity of service, wherever possible.

Lindsay’s son, Daniel, wrote the sorting algorithm at the heart of Mailkit while he was a Mathematics undergraduate at Cambridge some years ago. Although, Daniel hasn’t been involved in FastFile in recent years, he has some knowledge of the company that should help as we explore the next steps in due course. Please be patient however, our first priorities are making sure Lindsay’s widow is cared for, and preparing a thanksgiving service for dad’s life.

If you are interested in exploring the possibility of buying part of the code or business, please be in touch again.

Daniel Scott
