I used to get that garbage mail from Readers' Digest.

I saved it up, put it all in a LARGE envelope and posted it to them, with no stamps.

They stopped sending mail to me.

:-D

,LIKE LIZ SAID TRADING STANDARDS

Same as Scozz, I must admit I often do the same when I'm feeling particularly annoyed with certain firms who continually send stuff month after month.
In fact, even tho' a lot of it's not scam stuff, it is still annoying and Barclays Bank are big culprits sending junk week after week after week. What a waste of paper.
I stuff as much as I can into their post paid reply envelope and post it back - that way THEY are the ones paying for all their junk to be sent back to them!!
Tee hee, yes I know, little things please little minds, but it does cheer me :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning:)
This is the letter l sent yesterday....

To whom it may concern!!

l received a letter from you today telling me l have won £51,000.....what a load of rubbish.
You have very cleverly written the Sample Letter, for some it will do more than make them Light Headed, it will make them feel they have really won this amount. For me it just got me very angry.
Will you please delete me from your company name, all letters of this nature to stop now. Also emails unless it is in response to this email.
l may also contact a newspaper!

Some people really believe you and its cruel!!

regards

Received an email this morning thanking me for mine...lol

I must say Damart do swamp you with emails and catalogues - but I have had some very good buys from them and am reluctant to stop it. I have the same swamping from some puzzle magazines I subscribe to - the number of trial issues I've had I hardly need subscriptions! I have blocked their e-mails but not their post as I always hope each envelope might mean another prize!
