Mine's not as spectacularly silly as Gnopps', it's more blasé and bang-your-head-in-the-wall kind of annoying. It's a response to my request on the website concerning specific conditions for a Hertz promo which were not clear to me. The response to my request for clarification is of course:

Sir,

Thank you very much for your recent communication with the Flying Blue Customer Service Center.

First of all, we invite you to check the web site for all information and conditions relating to promotions we are currently offering to Flying Blue members.

Besides, your Flying Blue team remains at your disposal should you require further information either by telephone (no), by fax (no) or online at www.airfrance.com or www.klm.com.

We thank you for your continued loyalty to the Flying Blue programme.

Yours sincerely,

Your Flying Blue team
