Golden Nuggets??

Ratan Tata, India’s most powerful businessman, has been looking at the British manufacturing for decades in his search for “golden nuggets”.

Ratan Tata bought Jaguar and Corus because he expects them to get bigger and contribute more to the Tata group.  We hope he is right.

McAfee, one of the leading security software makers, said that its laboratories had detected a spike in swine-flu spam only a couple of days after the news of the spread of the disease broke.

Users should never click on links inside emails from unknown sources and spam messages should always be deleted without opening.
