Good day and I hope all works out for you.

Best,

my response

Dearest [redacted sales guy]

Oh, no no surely I have given you the wrong idea! Our office is on the ground floor, and when you are next in the Twin Cities, do come by for the tour. We shall have butternut squash and bacon canapes (my own recipe). And I make a lovely Aviation cocktail which I'm told inspires many to feats of the most grandiose entrepreneurship and unparalleled client service. I'll introduce you to the wife and kids and you can even examine our data center.

And my dear mother, bless her soul, is hundreds of miles away pining for her grandchildren. It was certainly a difficult time in our lives, living under her roof those many years ago. She loathed our noisy dog and stifled her anxieties for my pride's sake while we sought to get back on our feet. What a strong and vigorous woman. Do you know that she is already 71? Seventy-one! I will tell her you asked after her, she'll be so pleased.

The dog, of course, had to be put down.

Warm regards,

Jon

This is just getting more and more bizarre! It's like a car wreck: I can't tear my eyes away!

I'm starting to believe you're making this all up. It's too surreal and hilarious for real life. This was just the giggle i needed this morning.

I assure you it is all real. Very very real. A sheer gift from the stars. Glory!

Wow.

If there was ever a customer service fail...

You should copy the whole mess and send it to his/her boss.

Well played sir, very very well played.

I have to agree with all 4 people above. Please let him write back, because this is just too bizarre. So bizarre that I'm becoming suspicious. And the dog line was wonderful.

These emails are making my mornings very entertaining!

Your salesguy and my applicant need to get together.

Also, you're awesome.

I can't stop rereading these and laughing. And now I am sitting with a huge smile on my face. Oh, please please please write back! PLEASE!

Also, perhaps it's time to stop [redacting] so that everyone you know can begin requesting quotes!!

Well, I am kind of holding off. I realize he's already crossed a line, I'm just not sure I want to completely go on that offensive unless and until he truly deserves it.

I haven't laughed that hard in awhile..."And my dear mother, bless her soul, is hundreds of miles away pining for her grandchildren." Holy crap, that was the awesome...
