She got a canned reply to the tune of, "All $VALUABLE_GIFTS that were*gonna* be shipped have *been* shipped. Looks like we didn't have enough togo around. Tough shit, don't bother us again."The surveys I receive in the mail usually come complete with the $VALUABLE_GIFT(where "VALUABLE_GIFT" == "1") right there in the envelope along with thesurvey form.This "gift" was of substantially greater value than "1", and would not havefit into an envelope.
