Two weeks before Christmas I received an email claiming that if I clicked the link within I’d receive a free mince pie.
Though doubtful of its authenticity I clicked the link.
Two days ago I received a small package at work.
I didn’t know what to expect when I opened it (having long since forgotten about my mince pie email).
To my delight inside was a mince pie and a note.
Dear Mr Greaves:
Thank you for taking the time to download and install our MSN Messenger 8 Beta Software and/or malware.
Please find enclosed one mince pie as a token of our appreciation.
So there.
Next time you receive an email promising you a mince pie if you click the link; click it.
The pie doubters laughed, I laughed last.
Well, I am still waiting for my free Honda / iPod Nano / mobile phone, all of which have yet to materialise :-p But nice result for you!
