Thank you for selling computers. I have to say that I have been satisfied overall with my April 2008 purchase of your Vostro 1400 laptop. I loved the convenience of online ordering. I was familiar with your brand from my day job. I liked the customizationableness you afforded me with my laptop choices. I liked it that you shipped to my door.
It hasn't really given me any problems other than the fact that every once in awhile it tells me it doesn't recognize the adapter connected to it (and a quick re-seating of the cable end usually rectifies that issue). The battery life superseded that of most of my peers' laptops in teacher's college. And it's way cooler than my work T60 IBM laptop for my computer job.
I do have one complaint though. You send me too much mail. I get junkmail from you at least twice a month, if not more. Sometimes I get it at least once a week! I know, I know, I did purchase a "small business machine" as a "small business owner." But the key word here is small. It's just me. And I only need one laptop. And this one's still chugging away. The expected lifespan of a laptop is generally three years. It hasn't even been two yet! I'm hoping and expecting this one still lasts me a while.
I like my laptop. I recommend Dell to others.
But I do warn people about the junk mail.
Kind regards,
Michelle

Dear Reader's Digest
Thank you for the many years of enjoyment and things that I have learned due to your monthly magazine. There is not a time in my lifespan of 30 years that I cannot remember not having Reader's Digest in the house, more specifically, in my parents' bathroom.
I can remember doing some sort of Language Arts assignment in grade 5 using Reader's Digest magazines. I can remember the surprise at finding people we knew who had written in with submissions for Life’s Like That, All in a Day’s Work, Humour in Uniform, Campus Comedy, Tales Out of School and As Kids See It. And friends and family, throughout the years, would always say "I have a story I should send in to Reader's Digest".
As an adult, it has been nice to receive a yearly subscription to RD from my Gramma, who always says you should never stop learning. These days, the new issues sit in my kitchen and housemates enjoy reading it when they sit down to eat breakfast or take a break at the table.
I have, however, been alarmed since this past summer to continually receive pieces of mail from numerous charities whom I know have purchased from or been given my mailing address from Reader's Digest. It started out with a neat set of address labels from the Muscular Dystrophy Association or some such organization. These were somewhat nice, although I was in the process of moving so the address would soon be null and void. Then, once I moved, I still received another set of Christmas address labels and seals from another charity at that same old address. I got a metal angel ornament from somewhere else. In the winter I also received some duck-themed labels from somewhere else. And then some with daffodils and irises and other flowers. And then the War Amps sent me some keychain tags. I actually like the War Amps (Drive Safe!) so I didn't mind that. Then I got some dog and kitten address labels.
And then this week I got a set of gift cards from another charity.
No less than two of these charities have sent me a nickel with their mailer, encouraging me to send it back (with more money).
It's not that I don't like address labels. And gift cards. and Christmas tree angel ornaments. But I've received 5 label sets in less than a year! I do send some mail, but certainly not enough to warrant having more than one set of address labels.
I don't know how to get off the junk mail list you sell my address on, but please remove me. If I cannot do it through such electronic means, let me know the mailing address and I'll send you a letter. I have a few address labels to use up.
Thank you!
Michelle

Dear Tom
Yes, I'm sure I really want to delete my MySpace account.
There are a few reasons:
1. I never use it.
2. I don't need this info floating around on the web for anyone to read.
3. Facebook has overtaken MySpace and we all know it. Facebook is way easier to search and find people you know. With MySpace, it was always hit and miss... near impossible to find people you knew.
4. No one I want to keep in touch with has just a MySpace account. They've all switched to Facebook.
5. The layouts here always looked cheap.
6. Tom was never really my friend, no matter how much he wanted to be.
7. I'd like to stop the birthday announcements I get from MySpace that never tell me whose birthday it actually is.
8. I'd like to stop the spam friend requests I get too.
Thanks Tom and co.! Best wishes upon your future endeavours. I'll give Mark Zuckerberg your regards.
Sincerely,
Michelle
