With friends like these…
Dear PR Flack:
Thanks for your pitch, the one that started “Dear Friendly Blogger.”
Actually, I’m decidedly unfriendly when flaky PR people can’t be troubled to look up my name or figure out if I write about “food and/or healthy living”. It’s not hard to personalize a pitch, but I suppose that would be too much … work?
You want something from me, but yet you can’t be bothered to do the most basic research, or give the most basic courtesy? Please.
For the record, I am also not one of your “blogger friends”, nor are the dozens of people laughing at your rude spam-pitch on Twitter this morning. You need to figure out how to pitch appropriately; you’re alienating writers who might otherwise be sympathetic to your service.
Please take me off your list immediately.
xoxo,
~ Anita
