Dear Sirs

On the 5th November I received an unsolicited SMS message to my mobile telephone number xxxx xxx xxxx.
The text of the message was:

"xxxxxxxxxxxx: Urgent! You have been accepted! Please call xxxx xxx xxxx to complete your application."

As I have no relationship with your company and my telephone number is registered with the Telephone
Preference Service your message was unwelcome and intrusive. I called the number to establish who was
sending me spam SMS messages and your representative was unable to inform me where you obtained my
telephone number from.

As I have not given your company explicit permission to contact me, your communication is spam as
defined by "The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003" and explicitly
includes SMS messages as defined by:

"Interpretation 2.  - (1) (e) "electronic mail" means any text, voice, sound or image message sent
over a public electronic communications network which can be stored in the network or in the recipient's
terminal equipment until it is collected by the recipient and includes messages sent using a short
message service;"

I would like you to compensate me for the cost of the telephone call I made to you, the cost of sending
this letter, and for an hour of my time in dealing with this matter. I estimate the costs incurred
through your spam to be £35.00 value (the same charge that my bank makes for writing to me) and would
therefor be grateful if you could submit payment at your earliest convenience by cheque to the above
address made out in favour of "Mr C Dawson". 

I would also like you to ensure that you do not send further unsolicited communications and to confirm
receipt of this letter in writing within 7 working days. Once I have received your cheque I will
consider the matter closed.

Yours faithfully


Mr C Dawson
