Dear Ms Chew xxx xxx,
Welcome to Choice Getaways - September 2009 from Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts.
This month, we feature an opportunity for you and your loved one to venture to the far reaches of love, or more popularly-known as Tianya Haijiao (in Mandarin: the threshold of the sky and sea) in Sanya, Hainan island with our Romantic Getaway package. A beautiful spot made up of two engraved rocks where lovers declare their vows, celebrate intimacy and love at this fabled locale.
A city escape among friends and family in the “Land of Smiles” is now made possible with the launch of Banyan Tree Bangkok’s new two-bedroom suites. Experience breathtaking views in comfort, while bonding with loved ones and enjoy exclusive privileges including access to the elite Club Lounge; book now with our Great Introductory Offer.
A consummate journey of rejuvenation, wellness, and discovery await at Banyan Tree Phuket with our Retreat For The Senses package. Tailored according to individual lifestyle and preferences, Retreat For the Senses offers you four spa and wellness programmes - Sense of Bliss, Sense of Heritage, Sense of Ayurveda and Sense of Purification – each customisable to your preference.
What better way to spend a holiday at the advent of the cold season than in the tropics of the Maldives? Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, renowned for one of the best diving and snorkelling spots in the Maldives, offers you exclusive savings when you book a stay 30 days in advance.
My response
Dear Banyan Tree,
While I enjoyed your hotels tremendously, I can't say the same about your CRM system.
As a matter of fact, I am Mr and have been for about 38 years. Despite my numerous visits to Thailand, I intend on staying Mr for quite a number of years more.
You obviously do not like my French Surname and have decided to rename me Chew.
I could agree to change my name by deed poll but I am not sure I am so keen on Chew... Do I have other options?
I also appreciate your nice intention of protecting me from the cold weather by suggesting a little trip to the Maldives. I however live in Singapore, the country of your headquarter and therefore experience lows of 26C. May I suggest that your experience with cold weather in Singapore is most likely due to a faulty air-con.
Apart from changing my name and gender and not knowing about the weather in your own country.... you are doing a great job.
