A British man who received a letter from U.K. cable giant Virgin Media addressing him as "Mr. Illegal Immigrant" is furious with the company's handling of the ordeal, it was reported Friday.
Aaron Needham, 24, says he felt offended after receiving what appeared to be an official company letter at his home in Nottingham, central England.
The letter, which included a brochure advertising the company's cable TV and telephone packages, was addressed to "Mr. Illegal Immigrant" and started with "Dear Mr. Immigrant."

The guy needs to get a grip. The letter was meant for the next occupant and unfortunately, send out somewhat prematurely.
it was prolly meant to go to the fellow living in his shed
Why should he complain?
I wouild assume illegal immigrants receive disounted cable rates, right?
Lord knows here in the US, they are a special protected class.
Have seen this - one poster suggested it was pranksters filling out a form for coupons or some-such.
Think it’s hilarious - we should fill out similar WH survey cards: To Chuck U. Owtsuhn.
Seems pretty easy to offend Euro-trash these days; however, they don’t seem to be offended regarding the take over U.K. by a foreign invasion. Most likely because they have not been train to know the signs.
that is hilarious!
soon to follow-”Hey Fatass”
I can’t find the thread from a couple of years ago where some Palestinian guy’s neighbor called the guy’s credit card company and had the guy’s name changed to “Palestinian Terrorist”. It was on his bills and then when he called to complain, the script-bound operator kept saying stuff like “Oh I’m very sorry about that, Mister Terrorist, let me see what we can do about that...”
Boy, am I getting some interesting ideas from this ...
had a part-time job as a kid with a bulk mail outfit and we would amuse ourselves by adding all of the Bart Simpson gag names to the mailing lists....I.P. Freely, Al Kaholik, Yuri Nassel, etc. Likely what happened here.
Do they involve filling out junk mail coupons for "Mr. Illegal Immigrant" at "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue"?
He probably rigged that junk mail address so he could complain + sue.
