Here's mine:
I understand that one of your subsidiaries, Lipton, sponsors the Dixie Chicks.

I want you to know how distressed my family and I were to hear the terrible comments made by them while playing a concert in the UK recently. They apparently think so little of our President that they will criticize him publicly, saying they are "ashamed" of him.

I want you to know that my family and I are NOT ashamed of our President. In fact, we are proud of him and stand foursquare behind him as he attempts to execute his solemn duty under the Constitution, to defend our land.

I am, rather, embarrassed and ashamed of the Dixie Chicks. I do not think there was any reason for them to make these statements publicly, no matter what their private opinions might be.

Although they have a right to them, my family and I also have the right to disassociate ourselves from them, from any of their products, and from the products of their sponsors.

Therefore, we will for the indeterminate future NOT be buying any products from Lipton, including beverages, soft drinks, or anything else that Lipton produces. We will also attempt to make sure we don't buy anything from Unilever.

This might be a small thing to you but to us it is quite serious. We are Texans as well as they, and mortified at their terribly disrespectful comments as our nation hovers on the brink of war.

Thank you for your attention to our complaint.

Sincerely,

[ADDRESS]

Easy for you to say, you don't drink tea anyway.
