Dear Publishing Company Marketing Person,

This is just a quick note to let you know that if you think your company's valuable product will be made much more appealing through putting it on a cheap, nasty, cardboard display that falls over and strews books all over the place in a strong light and whose only concession to anything vaguely artistic is a blown-up photograph of the author looking smug, then you are mistaken. Furthermore, we regret to inform you that if you are labouring under the assumption that bookstore receiving staff enjoy putting these miserable pieces of crap together without the benefit of even a badly photocopied sheet of assembly instructions, then you are not only mistaken, you are going to Hell.

Yours oh-so-sincerely,
Bazz
