Energy for life through forces of nature
With Carmex:
Tom Locke to Carmex:
“Dear Sir or Madam:
I know people claim that Carmex is addictive, and I know that you claim it’s
not. Either way, I love it. I slather virtually half of my face with it prior to bed
each night (I don’t wear it during the day, because I don’t like feeling the least
bit greasy). Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I love Carmex. I once forgot
to bring my Carmex with me on business trip, and I was stuck buying an over-
priced ChapStick in a hotel lobby. And boy, is that stuff junk. It felt like I was
spreading old cheese on my lips. Anyway, can I have a free jar of Carmex? I’m
not poor or anything, I just like freebies. Thanks in advance,
Tom Locke, Carmex enthusiast.”
Excerpt from Carmex to Tom Locke:
“Thank you for your kind letter and for being a valued Carmex customer! You
might be interested to know that yours is not the first letter I’ve received from
someone who likes to apply Carmex to his or her lips prior to bedtime. After I
read the first of such letters, I put Carmex on before I went to bed and it indeed
worked like a charm! I woke up the next morning and my lips felt great!
Enclosed, please find the free jar of Carmex that you requested. (Who doesn’t
enjoy freebies?!?) Please accept the jar along with our compliments for being
such a valued Carmex customer.”
