A (now) open letter to "The World Leader in River Cruising" -- The Response

Mr. Reilly,

I just wanted to thank you for a very entertaining request to be taken off the mailing list. I have personally taken your request to our Marketing department to ensure you do not receive anymore mailers.

I just wanted to let you know that your witty response was handled. Thank you for a great end to the week, and I do sincerely apologize for the superfluous amount of mailers. If after two weeks you still receive something, please contact me directly at the email address or phone number listed below and I will personally take care of it for you.

Well slap me silly and call me Judy. Wow. Not just cordial, but grammatically competent and timely to boot. I hereby retract everything I said to, and about, Viking River Cruises® (especially the part about raping a poodle -- in retrospect, that was sort of wrong). In point of fact, river cruises rule, and Viking River Cruises® in particular especially rule. If you are planning a vacation, and you are a well-dressed upper-middle-class straight white couple (okay, yes, I watched the DVD), let it be known that Homunculus officially endorses Viking River Cruises®, the World Leader in River Cruises... by far.
