@@@ A US air passenger may have received what is quite possibly the world s least sincere apology letter.

United Airlines appears to have sent the correspondence to one of its customers, but forgotten to fill in the case fields, possibly exposing the hollowness of its cut-and-paste customer service methods.
 Your comments regarding (SPECIFIC EVENT) will be used for coaching and training our employees, read the letter. To encourage you to fly <a href=http://www.saclouisvuittonhomme.com>Sac Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30</a> with us again and as a tangible means of acknowledging your disappointment, <a href=http://www.saclouisvuittonhomme.com>Sac Louis Vuitton Tivoli</a> enclosed is (SPECIFIC ITEM).
 (CUSTOMER NAME), I ask that you allow us another opportunity to serve you, as we consider it our privilege to have you aboard.
