Sometimes you just know they won’t reply.
Dear Scott’s of Stow,
I recently came across your catalogue whilst browsing the web. I was surprised to see that you sell suitcases that, according the description, are “Lighter Than Air”. This leads me to ask three questions:
1) As the items are lighter than air, are you prepared to waive the shipping cost?
2) Do the items have any special storage instructions, e.g., will they need to be tied down?
3) I noticed the dimensions of the cases seem to be slightly off. At 5.7kg, the “large family case” will need to be approximately 2.5m x 1.6m x 1.1m to live up to its name. This is almost 40 times the stated size. Can you confirm this?
I look forward to your reply.

I loved this letter the first time round and I love it just as much now. The line about waiving the shipping costs is just out-and-out cheek. I wish I’d thought of it! ;-)

how strange, I always suspected this was one of my weak letters – hence I’ve only put it back up because I’m flat out of time and other prepared articles. I’m glad to be proven wrong!
