It is surely the letter that everyone who has ever worked in customer service has wanted to write.
When a retired teacher sent an email to TV chef and barber-dodger Jamie Oliver complaining about his incessant swearing, he received an abrupt response from Oliver's team.
It read: "What do you think I should write back, apart from "F*** off you ****."
According to the Daily Mail, the email was written by Kris Boobyer, 25, from Oliver's enquiry team, and had been intended as an internal joke between him and the chef's publicist Peter Berry, but was accidentally copied into the formal response.
Boobyer said: "I deeply regret making such pointless and tasteless comments. I would like to apologise wholeheartedly."
It all reminds Guru of the time in his youth when he sen a carrier pidgeon with a note boasting of his success on a lads' night out to his girlfriend of the time. In retrospect, perhaps it was Mr Boobyer who replied.
