You can't put class blocks inside method definitions.  That is why you
are getting a syntax error.  Just move it to the top level and define
an alternate method to be used by sign_with_CA_two

class WIN32OLE
   def slow_send(str)
     send(str)
     sleep 0.1
   end
end

def sign_with_CA_two
   @auto.slow_send("{a}")
   #...
end
