How ironic can an unsubscribe email be?
December 28th, 2007
I have recently been sick to death of PacificPoker.com emails. After clicking the unsubscribe link in their spam^H^H^H^H newsletter for the fifty thousandth time, I can say - without hyperbole - that I was not very happy. My festive spirit somewhat dampened by yet another promise of a chance at the $75m dream ticket, I sent them this rather terse email:
Subject: TAKE ME OFF YOUR MAILING LIST
From: <my address removed for spam prevention>
Date: December 27, 2007 11:50:19 am GMT
To: support@pacificpoker.com
I have lost count of the number of times I have tried to
unsubscribe. Please remove me IMMEDIATELY
Their reply is priceless...
