Please disreguard tomorrow's e-mail blast. In light of NOLA incident push item number 22311 HURRICANE STAKE LUMINARY.
Also add anything else to encourage rebuilding. In email say that we will donate 20% of proceeds to Katrina fund. We are not going to donate, but it will help sales.
Make this a targeted email for people in the Gulf States.


Mike made that up as a joke and sent it to 4 different people. Everybody thought it was serious. That says something about our trust in upper management.
