Looking at the diverse ways they have been used each one of them may require a different solution. I just looked at a few of them and I can identify that some of them represent amenities, addresses, town/city/village name etc. So I think the best approach is to go through the points one by one and make the required changes, some have to be deleted nevertheless but it's better to scrutinise them first.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp130dff1asignature"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr">Samuel Darkwah Manu</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">GIS & Data Analyst</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">getINNOtized GmbH</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Accra, Ghana</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Tel: +233546902013</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Skype: Sammyhawkrad2<br></font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Twitter:<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <a href="https://www.twitter.com/sammyhawkrad" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@sammyhawkrad</a></span><br></font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080"><br></font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div>
