Hank Stroll, the head guy at InternetVIZ, sent me this email he received. I think it’s funny because it asks you to stop by next weekend for brunch and coffee. Sure, Hank from Minnesota, can just take his super fast airplane like it’s a walk down to the nearest coffee shop.
It’s a waste to distribute like this. Sending email through a service isn’t free and usually involves a charge per email sent. Why don’t the company save its money and clean up its list to separate locals from far away readers? Here’s the email:
Its easy to enjoy a cooked Brunch at Columbus Coffee Dominion Road!
Dear Hank,
Got lots on this weekend? Sports? Late nights? Getting over a cold? Having a hectic working week? Hungry? (if you answered yes to any or all of these we recommend you come in for a cooked brunch quickly!)
Well don’t make life any more hectic by having to cook breakfast/lunch at home. Come in, smell the wonderful Columbus Coffee and choose a specially cooked brunch that suits you, as well as those in toe. We see it all the time – often the orders at one table are all different – e.g you like the Poached eggs, the others order the Scrambled eggs with bacon, Big Breakfast, Eggs Benedict, Turkish Breakfast Platter, Shepherds Melt, Breakfast Panini and then there’s the different drinks…! Try doing that at home or the office! And we do these sumptuous cooked breakfast/lunches 7 days a week until 2 pm just in case you are not around in the weekend!.
