Subject: Thanks + BIG favor to ask
Hi Blogger,Thanks so much for the post! I shared it on all our social media channels and we are getting lots of likes + retweets!...
The set up.
@deadroxy
...
I have a real huge favor to ask though. I made a big mistake. I’m a new communications intern at frestyl, and when I sent you our info I must have spelled the company name wrong.
Totally not true.
@deadroxy
...
My boss made a big deal about getting our branding right when I contact press, and I obviously screwed that up completely.
Everyone hates their boss.
@deadroxy
...
If there’s ANY way you could make the correction for me in your post, it would be a HUGE help.
The effortless save.

Thank you again sooo much!!
