This is what I have sent back to Pepsi....

To whom it may concern,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my request. It is very unfortunate that you are unable to assist me on this occassion.

Unfortunately of the four food and beverage companies that I wrote to requesting a helping hand (Pepsi, Coca Cola, Walkers crisps and Nestle), Pepsi is the only one from whom I have received nothing. All of the other companies have been very generous and sent me samples and vouchers, which have greatly helped me to make my daughter's party sure to be a brilliant one.

Again, it is a real shame that Pepsi have been so unforthcoming. Once I have used the £50 vouchers that Coca Cola have sent, I might just stay with this company as they seem to value and reward customer loyalty.

...Lets see how far I get this time!

Sorry to be a killjoy, but you're being rude, ungrateful and unfair, and nobody would really believe you were given £50 by Coca Cola, to be quite honest. Dishonesty ISN'T the best policy.;)

A few of the bigger companies tend to say basically it wouldn't be good for business if they sent out freebies to everyone who ask :rolleyes:

I have been told if you go into The Body Shop they usually give samples with a purchase and the same with Lush!

Innocent Smoothies sent me £6 in vouchers as my parakeet is poorly and drinks their smoothies!

Must send them an update on how she's doing. She's looking so much better, and I'm sure this is because it's the only way I can force vitamins into her.

I've emailed inncocent 2 times.
The first asking straight out for freebies- they said no.
I then emailed them again, a month or two later about my brothers birthday- they said no.
I suppose they just dont like me

I have asked LUSH for samples via email twice before as i get eczema and like you want to make sure it doesn't irritate my skin, and i have been told they can't send them through the post because of the cost but if you go into a branch near you they will give you some. :rolleyes:

Hope you have more luck than me :j

I came home to a bag full of goodies yesterday from Lush;

A few little soaps, a tub of shampoo, a couple of tubs of body lotion, a couple of tubs of foam bath and a couple of bath bombs!

I am going to send off letters to them on behalf of my mother and my partner's mother now!

Erm, I hate to be a killjoy but I'm not sure that lying to companies to get a freebie is really in the spirit of things...

Perhaps not... but I received an e-mail today saying that they will put a £5 voucher in the post strictly as a one off! :T:T Good old Pepsi!
