Dear Sir Or Madam,


     I am writing you today to inform you of the extreme satisfaction I have with your product after drinking it. I have never considered myself a "heavy drinker"; I tend only to drink at social functions. I was recently at a 'mixer' sponsored by my work, and stumbled upon a bottle of your sake.

     When I first pulled off the cap to your product, I took a brief whiff of what I was about to consume. I have to say, I am very drawn to the scent of your product. I normally loathe the smell of sake, but your brand exuded a unique odor.

     After only a few drinks (directly from the bottle), I noticed I had more energy than I started the night with. Does your bottle contain any Ginseng? Before I knew it, I was the 'life of the party'. My co-workers tell me that I started an office conga line that lasted for hours. I even got up and started to do a theatrical re-enactment of "School's Out: The Degrassi Movie" (and I have not done any kind of theatre since High school). Your product seems to have 'brought me to life'. I am normally nervous about talking to my boss, or any of my superiors for that matter, but after I had consumed a large portion of your product, I found myself in deep conversation with them. One of the people I work with is Randy Matthews; someone I consider to be a real "dick". He and I have been competing for the Slade account the last few weeks. Well, after making a wonderful impression with my boss, I was appointed the head of the account. Nothing can properly convery the feeling I experienced when I watched Matthews smug face hear the news. As a side note: I have also been put in charge of all future office parties.

     It seems only fitting that I have decided to make Obata Sake the only sake served at our future functions. I want everybody to experience the same sensation I get from your sake. My son just became of age to drink, and I have decided to start him out right (with a bottle of your fine product). What is your company secret (you can trust me)?

     Could you please write back to me and let me know that you have received my letter (the mail system is not as reliable as your product is). Thank You for everything you have done for me.

I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
