I read in a recent post on Yahoo! About a disgruntled gentleman who flew virgin Atlantic. For those of you that have read the letter will know that it is probably the best complaint letter ever written. The letter was originally published by The Telegraph on the 30th Jan 2009.
What was of particular interest to me was the bit about the cookie, the description of a back-street underground cookie, purchased off a gun-toting maniac. The story has been blogged all over and has made it on to the Sky News, Money Saving Expert and has a following on Twitter!
Well folks I have heard from a reliable source that the letter was indeed a hoax from Virgin Atlantic’s PR company WCRS.
Well I don’t know about you but I originally thought “that’s terrible! I am never flying with Virgin!” however it has got everyone talking.
What does all this have to do with HIP’S ? or indeed PALI ? well the answer is not much! I sent the email around the office and the franchisee’s contributed to the illusion that this letter was indeed the real deal. Thought I would just set the record straight!
