I just got an email

from Tilex.

They want to pay me thousands of dollars to advertise for them.

OK not really. But I did just get an email from them.

OK technically Jack got an email from them.

I have no idea how they got our email address OR our mailing address, because the header of the letter included Jack's full name and our address. I did not write Tilex a letter, and I'm sure Jack didn't either. That is kind of scary.

Do the Tilex people spend their days trolling the Web, looking for references to their products? Am I under consistent governmental surveillance? The only thing I can figure is that Vicky is a long-time, loyal blog reader and a huge fan of what I do.

Taking that into consideration, I will excuse the fact that she referred to JACK'S kind words and generous comments about Tilex and never made mention of me a single time. It's ok, Vicky. I forgive you.

Here is the letter:

Dear Mr. Redwood,

We appreciate your taking the time to share your kind words about Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover.

Knowing that you like our products is important, and we value the generous comments you have shared with us. Because the marketing specialists working on the development of these products also will enjoy hearing your opinion, I am forwarding your comments to them.

Again, thank you for letting us know that our efforts have been successful.

Sincerely,

Vicky Bullock
Consumer Response Representative
Consumer Services

They could have at least sent me a coupon.

wow - not even a coupon! I think since Jack got the letter, he can do the cleaning of the shower?! :)

I bought some this weekend and it is everything you said it would be. Love it!

going to purchase tonight based solely on your ringing endorsement. that alone is worth $1 off!

My mom and I have both purchased since this post. Maybe Tilex will want to re-think that whole no coupon thing.
