I have no idea how this would stand legal testing - but I email something
like
this to junk-mail advertisers anyhow - my point being is that a contract
must
be established (the email) AND agreed to (the placement of junk mail into
the
mail box):
====================================
The Chief Executive Officer,
/name_of_company/
/date/
Thank you for the recent advertisement that you caused to be delivered
into my
mailbox (or proximity) offering me your product/s.
I receive a large number of these advertisements and have decided to offer
a
service by critiquing the advertising content of future deliveries the
still
might be so placed.
If you wish to avail yourself of this service, simply have placed copies
of
your future advertisement/s into the mailbox or vicinity (that reads “NO
JUNK
MAIL”) at/of; nn Xxxxxx St, Xxxxxxx 4444 Queensland.
Please be aware that any future advertisements that you cause to be
delivered
to me will irrevocably constitute a legally binding request for my paid
consulting service.
When I receive your advertisement, I will be happy to write a short
critique
of its advertising value and send to you.
My consulting fees are $78.00 per advertisement for services rendered
thereto
and the fee will be deemed to be due and payable as follows:
(a) Payment will be made, in full, within 30 days of any statement date,
and
(b) late payments are subject to a $24.50 surcharge, and
(c) a further $24.50 surcharge for each calendar month for as long as any
amount (that is due and payable) remains unpaid, and
(d) any legal action that might result, will irrevocably be in the
Queensland legal jurisdiction.
(e) Any debts may (without further notice) be placed into the hands of
Commercial Agents or sold on to Discounters for collection.
The advertisement that I recently received from you is the first one of
which
I have kept a record of and as a courtesy; I will not consider that first
mailing to be an actual request for my services.
Please keep this notice for any future reference.
With kind regards,
====================================================
