Dear sir/madam,

I find it ironic to the point of physical pain that you should advertise "Hard Rain", a photographic exhibition supported by a lecture series about climate change, by sending unsolicited flyers in bleached envelopes twice the size of the flyer. On opening this unnecessary, unsolicited envelope, the first thing with which I was presented was a stark image of the consequences of deforestation. Does the irony of this go unnoticed over at the botanic garden?

Yours in astonishment,

TELL ME you sent that to the culprit. I will pay you cash money to do so.

The response is bound to be something like:


Dear Ms. Lewis

Thank you for your letter [which we didn't read]. Here is the info on the exhibition "Hard Rain" which you requested.

A. N. Idiot.


Printed on 100gsm (high quality) paper, in a huge envelope, with another copy of the flyer.

I copy-pasted this post from my sent mail folder. I'm now feeling slightly penitent about the "physical pain" hyperbole, as it probably detracts from the seriousness of my point, but still.

No, it's quite trenchant.

And possibly with a complementary tree attached to show their infinite and undying love for the forests.
