You aren't a customer of Nat west are you?
there was a mailshot being prepared by Nat west to send out to all its 'high worth' clients i.e. those with plenty of liqued assets about an investment. Anyway, the guy setting up the mailshot used <Mr Rich Bastard> as the placeholder that would get replaced by the name of the real person, only it didn't, he had accidentally put a dodgy character in the template that meant that it missed the placeholder after 'Dear'.
So about a thousand high worth customers got letters that addresssed them
'Dear Mr Rich Bastard,
would you like to invest in our new blah de blah..........'
One IT contractor out on his ear and a LOT of grovelling for Nat west
