    Emails ,Iv never yet sent a letter .... my handwriting is terrible due to muscle damage ,so I type everything . Emails also (to me) mean they can reply quicker ,most within 2 days . But you have now made me wonder if they would be just as generous with a written letter ?!

    Anyway ,I hope the template helps :)

    They told me none are available, so I sent them a message calling them a liar.

    And they called me 'Mr Kyle', I wrote 'And Mr Kyle isn't my name'

    :eek: Think I lost it for a second

  • Certainly does! I think they must have more than one person who emails back, and some of them are just douchebags!

    im so glad i found this thread :)

    i havent done this for years ..

    i remember ages ago i wrote to walkers (i think it was walkers) telling them how much i like their "squares" , the square crisps

    anyways, weeks later i had a knock on the door, the postman was holding this huge box... opened it up and it was full of dozens and dozens of crisps!!!!

    :) doubt ill ever get a freebie that good again though!! but i think its time to start trying :D

    edit:

    also forgot that a few weeks ago, i applied for a picnic pack from persil!
    inside was napkins,papercups, a bottle of persil non bio with comfort , several vouchers to buy the persil non bio, a fleece blanket!! and 2 soft bunny toys!!!

    :) now that was amazing! :)
