FUN WITH EMAIL
The Dish
What good are mistakes unless you can make fun of ‘em? Lord knows we’ve made our share over here. But one mistake we haven’t made yet a VP with a big developer in town has made—forgetting to change the name of people you’re e-mailing when requesting charity donations. But thankfully, the receiver of said improper e-mail has a larger-than-life sense of humor.
This note came to a local restaurateur:
“A very good friend of mine, Susan Rehorn, is hosting a very cool fundraiser for Cherokee School. She is trying to get the “best of the best” Phoenix restaurants to help in her fund-raising cause. She has asked me to help. … [You can] 1. Donate an annual “dine-around” (dinner monthly for a year) at any of your Restaurant’s for our silent auction. 2. Donate dinner gift certificates to specific FOX Restaurants …”
Here’s the problem: The guy who received this e-mail is not with FOX Restaurant Concepts. So….his response?
Yes, I would like to donate dinner for 2 at all of the Fox Concepts courtesy of Sam. Thanks for that suggestion. PS I just forwarded that email to all local media, suggesting that Sam Fox has so dominated the Arizona restaurant scene that even I get requests to donate Fox dinners rather than anything from one of my restaurants.

So Mr. Fox, let us know where you’ll be sending those gift certificates…
