Do you say thanks ...

When you've received your prize through post to the company who sent it?

I have to say I tend to send them a quick email out of politeness

    I send an e mail if i have a named contact at the company who sent or arranged for the prize. Also if i have had to chase up any prize i allways send an e mail to the person who helped sort things out.

    Unfortunatly, there are many thimes when you have no name or even any idea where prizes come from.
    Thoughts:

    The surest sign that there is intelligent life in the universe is that they haven't contacted us yet:D
