HP laptops

Hi Folks,
First post here, ive read the sticky etc, hope all of you are well.
You may have read about the HP website glitching out and pricing their laptops for as little as a £1
Im not allowed to post links but if you google "hp laptop price error bbc" its the first link
Needless to say i bought 10 of them - at no point did i expect 20 grands worth of laptop to turn up, and im aware they are not obligated to honour this price. I thought i might order them and maybe get something as goodwill afterwards.
I got an email back from them today offering me 5% off any of their overpriced laptops. Im probably going to write them a letter saying how this has intentionally generated media hype for HP, and that customers have been mislead blah blah blah, Is there any phrases, or anything in particular i should focus on for the best results?
If anyone wants the 5% code id be happy to send them it.
Cheers.

How about 'If you give me what I'm asking for then I alibong0 promise never to use an HP product in public, thus preventing other potential customers from associating the HP brand with people as slimy, grasping and greedy as me'.
Is that the kind of thing you're after?0
