    I had a 'Sorry you didn't win but we would like to treat you with 15% off' one on Friday

    The thing is I DID win that comp! :D

    As it happens, it's rather yummy chocolate, so I've used their code to order my Easter Eggs with discount :)

    Bumping an old one as it fits...

    Grrrr. Got an email today with a header saying 'Thank you for entering our wine competition'. Opened it in hope, and heart did the flippy thing when I read the first few words, only to kick me in the teeth :(

    "Thank you for entering our competition to win a case of wine, congratulations to our winner - Linda from York."

    ARGHHHH! Naff off! Might be forced to unsubscribe for getting me all excited!

    I got a similar one the other day, the worst thing was, the winner was called Emily, then I went on to read the surname... not mine!

    I agree about the ones which are just telling you that someone else has won!

    It's a different thing but I've glanced at many e-mail subjects over recent months and, for a split second, got excited at seeing the word 'winner'....only to realise it actually says something about 'winter'!
