I think DH is getting fed up of me squealing in excitement about my brand new sparkly MacBook Pro which is currently on order and due for delivery THIS VERY WEEK. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE*
*only dogs can hear me now.
Apparently he’s received some ‘bad news’ about my order. Oh yeah. This email. APPARENTLY. humpf.
Dear Sir
It is with great regret that I have to inform you of a delay with your recent order for a Mac Book Pro. As you may be aware, our European Apple orders are dispatched from our depot in Ireland, however yesterday we suffered a small fire at the depot which fortunately was localised to your order only. Please rest assured that the fire was caught in the nick of time by our vigilant employees who quickly and repeatedly stamped on the order until the fire was out. In fact I must commend our staff as some of them actually carried on the stamping in their own time long after the fire was out. Naturally the burnt and crushed remains of your order were causing a trip hazard and due to European health and safety regulations, we had to safely dispose of the wreckage by throwing it into the bin.
We will endeavour to process a suitable replacement, but due to the forthcoming Leprechaun festival which runs from today for the next 6 months, naturally there will be a backlog.
Yours sincerely
William O’Gates
Head of Sales
Apple Ltd
I think he might be having me on….
