The Twelve Days of Christmas - Day Two

Dear Sir

Thank you for your prompt reply.  I did as you suggested, and the diagnostic readout on my Replicon 2000 now shows a software level of 3.08i – the latest level.

Why then, did I come downstairs this morning to discover yet another partridge and pear tree, accompanied by two members of what my KnowledgeBase has identified as the family columbidae – Turtle Doves, I presume?

So not only do I have the problem of having a large tree removed from the premises (again!) I now have to trouble my local Animal Rescue group once more to find homes for these noisome and somewhat loose-bowelled avians.

As before, I will be sending you the bills for the tree removal and also for steam-cleaning my carpets and furniture.

Yours truly

Edward Meeks

Dear Mr Meeks

Once again, we can only offer our most sincere apologies for this extremely unusual behaviour by our product.  3.08i is indeed the correct patch-level.  Frankly, we cannot understand how this could have happened.

We will be sending an engineer out to examine your unit.  In the meantime, please accept our continued apologies and be assured that we will pay for the damage caused.

Yours truly

Gerard Cochrane
Service Manager
