Dear April,

On the 7th of December 2001, you have mentioned the Get Slim Slippers on your show.

We produce and sell the slippers, and do not recall selling to you a pair. Did you really tried the slippers, or just felt like saying something "So Nice" about the slippers. I really wish you could try the slippers, or any other product before you choose to criticize.

Your prompt reply will be appreciated,

Regards,

C Chalamish, CEO

Dear Mr. Chalamish,

Thank you for listening to my shoe.

I won't comment on the fact that you sell so few of these shoes that you can remember every one of your customers. I would never say anything "so nice".

But what you don't realize is that I did tried your slippers!

I admit, after I ate the first one, my appetite was way down.

Unfortunately, after I passed it some time later, I went right back to my old eating habits.

Perhaps you could create some sort of "maintenance" program, where customers would get one shoe every month, just to keep them on track. Or we could just snack on Peds during the day. Who doesn't love a grape Knee-High?

I would write more, but my pizza is here.
