# evening all, and good night... I leave you with this...


Also, here is a letter (email) I have sent to Strongbow PLC today :o) I'll let you know when/if I get a reply....

Dear Mr / Miss Strongbow,



I am writing to enquire about the effects your product is having on my friend Simon. He recently purchased 108 440ml cans of your product but after drinking only 13 cans he found he had an allergic reaction which resulted him being violently ill as a subsequence he was only able to consume another 3 cans. Simon a freind and work collegue has reported today feeling particularily off colour. You can understand mine and his concerns as he has another 95 cans left to drink this evening. Although I admit I am not a doctor by profession I do feel that human complexion should not naturally be such a shade of green. Could you please advise myself or Simon of any suggestions / remedies that could help relieve his ill feeling allowing him to consume the remaining 95 cans this evening.



Yours Sincerely

# Hmmm....
Not if I don't drink the other 95 cans (92) as I had three after..... Not very faithful then!

Plus we know the name is Strongbow ;o)

# Sincerely
Sincerity is the key to everything. If you can fake that, you're sorted.

but it's wrong.

Grammatically? You may be right, can't remember the rules off the top of my head.

# The rules:
It's 'sincerely' for when you know the people you're writing to (and start the letter with 'Dear Mr _____') and 'faithfully' when you don't know the name (and start with 'Dear sir/madam).

I used to train secretaries.

# Train 'em how?
 
With a whip, or with a stake?

# ^This.


I always remember it because you have to have faith that it'll reach the right person if you don't say who it's going to at the top.

That being said, I now live in Canada and all the letter writing rules are bolloxed.

# Not bad,
my mate wrote to kronenbourg saying he'd drunk 14 cans and been sick (along the same lines) and they asked to collect the cans for investigation! when will these brewery types learn?

# Most places..
..stock the 13 1/2% extra free cans making them up to 500ml so your mate has been short changed by... um....6.48 litres of premium strength dry cider.

Get in the 'bow zone
