A customer emails you the following note: To whom it may concern:

I am absolutely livid. At 9am today, I put in a request to have one of your gophers go grocery shopping for me and bring back everything on my list by 2pm. I'm hosting an important event this evening and needed time to prepare. It is now 5pm, and I haven't heard from the gopher. I'm about to run to the store myself as people will be arriving in two hours! At this point, it's not even worth getting my groceries. Please cancel my request. I won't be using you for anything in the future.
