This is injunction with one of my earlier tasks, Eavesdrop. It's kinda... related.

Me and my mother will be travelling to Silverstone in Northampton in early July to see Formula One, and we have quality seats, so I thought I'd play a little trick on her.

I acted as Customer Contact Department Manager Mark Delsby-Smith, from Motorsport Ticketing Upgrades PLC. This would be the most shiser that my mum would ever read, so this is what I sent:



I waited a day or two, because my mum checks her e-mails regularly. After two days, I was about to go to work when my mum was looking through her inbox. I saw my e-mail right at the top, obviously read, because it was not bold. I said "What's that? *surprised face* VIP tickets?!". My mum turned round and said:

"Yeah, I phoned Silverstone and they said they have no track of contacting this guy and they have now put this onto their legal team. They checked all of their VIP booth contractors and everyone confirmed that they have had to wait for the 2008 slot for two or even three years (or spent a considerable amount of money)."

My jaw dropped. I didn't say anything, but waited until later on that night after work to e-mail my mum about SF0.

She thought it was quite funny, but said 'I shouldn't do that again'.

I didn't receive an e-mail back therefore not completing my intended goal, but I did manage to reach deep into the corporate legal team of the 'home of British motorsport'. I believe this is a better result than having a run-of-the-mill response, I suppose.
