Hello there.
How does three months’ free broadband1 sound?

Not to be sniffed at.

We thought that might interest you.

It does.

Well that’s exactly what we’re offering. That and award-winning broadband.
We'd like to treat you to free broadband for 3 months.

Thank you.

Simply sign up with Plusnet before 31st August and you’ll get three months’ broadband absolutely free.

I did ... several years ago ... oh, I see ...

Our customers have lots of great things to say about us.

And occasionally some mildly sarcastic things.

We sent this email to you because you have a relationship with BT.

And because we forgot to check whether you are already a Plusnet broadband customer.
Hey ho.

We flagged this as soon as we realised it had happened, we didn't filter the list of email addresses properly before sending the emails. Oops!
