Cookie Time Exposed

The 'Innocent' Email Enquiry

Help! I'm stuck over in Australia (silly me for accepting a job over here)
and they don't have any Cookie Time cookies over here :(

Every time I pop back home, I grab at least 3 bags of the Broken cookie
bits, but unfortunately those only last a couple of days (apparently the
Aussies over here don't mind eating them either) and it is costing me a
fortune to fly to NZ each time just to get a decent cookie. Oh, and
Australian customs must think I am pretty weird by now ;-)

Any chance of entering the Australian market any time soon?

Hungrily yours,

Gerard.

(PS. I just framed the last empty bag, and it now hangs in my guest
bedroom - it should help against getting homesick)
(PPS. Carry on the fine work!)

The corrupt company's Reply

Hi Gererd,

You've actually stumbled across a secret government plot to get kiwis to
come back to NZ!.... they've banned us from selling in Oz - if we did,
there'd be no reason for you guys to come home (well, apart from family,
friends, beautiful clean green countryside etc etc). So the plan is to
starve kiwis living overseas of Cookie Time until they become so desperate
that they just HAVE to come home!

We also don't send cookies overseas for logistical reasons (mainly cost &
freshness issues) - so I'm afraid you're stuck!

Thanks for getting in touch.

Kind Regards,

Cookie Muncher
