[!SG]

but good on her, and good on nintendo for actually reading the letter!

[orange7]

I kinda expected more from the letter format of a big company Nintendo.

[Jackygor]

Tough teacher, she only got a C on this paper, but on the other hand...

[StylinRed]

damn it, I didn't utilize my youth to the max by sending all these letters!! Now if I have a time machine...

I remember writing a letter to Warren G's record label in 1996 asking for an autograph picture. Two months later I received a package with an actual Warren G autograph picture, autograph picture of his group "the Twins", two CD's and a t-shirt. I still have the package in my room.

You'll be shocked how far hand written letters can go especially in this day and age when people just e-mail everything.

I had the same project when i was in grade 5 or 6. I wrote to the Canucks asking for a Pavel Bure autograph, a few weeks later, they sent me an 8x10 with the bure signature, a canuck hockey puck and a canuck pennant. I wonder if they will send me anything if i write them now?

[murd0c]

I never had a project like that in school dammit. I wonder if I did one now if it would still work hmmmm.

It was done that way on purpose. I thought it was a nice touch, don't you?

[murd0c]

It was handwritten and easy to understand, the way it should be for someone that age.

[Gumby]

[Hehe]

You will probably get a T-Shirt in classic Ferrari red saying:

"I wrote a letter to Ferrari asking for a free car, all I got was this lousy T-Shirt." :D

[jpark]

i just realized how terrible my writing is comparing to this grade 6's writing -_-

[MR_BIGGS]

I remember doing a similar project. I wrote to Bret Hart..lol

[typ.]

I thought this letter was a joke to begin with lol didn't look like a 6th graders writing at all.

[AzNightmare]

Lucky! She got a free DS. I should write to Nintendo too and prented to be a little kid.

[hotjoint]

Cool. I should write to sony and get a free psp :lol

[v.Rossi]

[ForbiddenX]

^Why not write to Canon? >.>

[AzNightmare]

I should write to Best Buy and try to get a Canon 7D.

[aznrsx1979]

I remember having the same assignment in school. I sent a letter along with one of the 2000 point plateau cards to Wayne Gretzky. A few weeks later I got the card back with it signed.

[J____]

i should pose as a 11 yr old and write to Canon for a new lens haha. And same on the writing, mine is so horrible looking compared to the grade 6'er, but i bet my typing is way faster :D

[Jsunu]

I know you're probably joking. But there's actually a lot of people who do seriously count on other people's good nature to take advantage of, which in turn converts good natured people to skeptics.


Props to Nintendo.

Wonder how many of the other kids are damn jealous...

[jerche]

I don't know if my coworker is bsing me or not but he told me his friend do this all the time but instead of pretending like a 10 year old, he complains in his letters. Apparently from doing this, he got a lifetime supply of beer, cereal etc.

[liu13]

a lifetime supply of beer? wtf

[7seven]

We actually see a lot of these types of letters delivered to our production offices asking for pictures and autographs from kids, you'd be surprised how often they actually work.

You coworker is telling the truth, I had a buddy real down on luck and he went into his cupboard and wrote to every company in there complaining about the food/product. Low and behold a month or two later he ended up getting free gift certificates new products everything you can think of. He did that for 6 months until he could get back on his feet again and it worked perfect.

The funny kicker is some of the company sent back prepaid envelopes he used to send letter to his family with LOL

^ :lol pretty crazy story. I guess a good old letter snail mailed could go a long way. I wonder how many people send emails and get stuff vs sending regular mail

tats pretty crazy, talk about customer service at its best eh

[murd0c]

The only thing I have ever done was straight up legit. I was eating a hotrod pep stick and bite down and chiped a molar on a piece of bone. Well I sent a letter and complained of course since I was mad and they ended up paying my dentil bill gas/time and sent me $50 in gift certificates for any product they sell. I will still pissed but happy it was dealt with.


I'm kinda tempted to send a letter to bunch of companys just to see it for the hell of it. it doesn't hurt them at all they just make more sales in the long run for making the customer satisified.

what the kid can afford to buy a 8 core mac pro, and an imac, but can't afford to pay for the full cost of final cut 2??

Props to apple for sending him final cut. Maybe I should write to adobe and get CS5/LR3.

[Senna4ever]

I remember getting a free Transformer when I was a kid. it was one of those limited edition ones not sold in stores. He was a Ferrari 512BB.....can't remember the Autobot name though.
