Dear Sirs,

I'm having a party and I finally got the guts to ask Judy Sheidegger (no relation) to come. She is so CUTE!! Usually she doesn't talk to me when I catch her at the copier, at the water cooler, or outside the women's bathroom. But this time I ambushed her in the elevator and she said yes! She said she'd only come if I served Pentium Chips at my party.

I figured no problem. Well, the date is quickly approaching and I have not been able to find Pentium Chips anywhere! So far I've checked the following: 7-11, Trader Joe's, Star Market and Stop & Shop. I couldn't find them at any of these stores. I asked someone at work who made Pentium Chips and they said Intel. So here I am writing to you today, feeling a tad silly for admitting that my quest for your product is a little selfish. (little Rudy thanks you)

Are Pentium Chips only sold on the West Coast? Can I order them through you via mail? I have no idea what flavors you have but I'm just gonna guess here. Please send me:

  • 2 bags of sour cream and onion chips
  • 2 bags of barbecue (bbq) chips
  • 2 bags of the kinds with ridges in them

I think 6 bags of chips will be perfect. I'll put 4 bags out but keep two bags in reserve in case Louis from Accounting shows up.

A swift response would be greatly appreciated since the party is in 2 weeks. Thank you Intel for helping me out with this; it really means a lot to me. It's great to know that there are still companies out there who are committed to customer service. I'd be glad to write you again and let you know how the party goes and what happened with me and Judy. I'm going to make my big move and profess my love on party night!

Having host anxiety,

Rudy Schumann

p.s. - do you know of any good polka bands in my area?
