Re: Draft LTE (4.00 / 2)
The IMF is there because the ECB wants the political air cover. The IMF has no stick that can hurt Greece remotely as bad as the stick the ECB has.

If you're willing to present ultimata to the ECB, you're past the point where that sort of political theatre matters very much.

Re: Draft LTE (4.00 / 2)
You are attacking the ECB on the occasion of a public row between the government of Greece and IMF representatives. So what you say in the first paragraph would better be there so that readers of the LTE not reading ET will get the apparent shift of target.
