Dear Sir or Madam,
 
I have owned a computer for three years and every year I have numerous periods of time where my internet connection is absolute crap, simply drops out when unexpected. Every time I reconnect it costs me another phone call and to add insult to injury I pay G.S.T. on the call not to mention the line rental I pay whether the line works or not. I have been informed by all servicemen that this is only going to continue as the supply lines are old copper wire and are simply breaking down.  I notice the C.E.O. of Telstra can now earn as much as seven million dollars a year, for bloody what???? . Oh sorry I forgot it was most likely a bonus for the six billion lost in an Asian deal. Just last week at "The Horizon" Resort Mission Beach which is in my area Telstra hosted a conference for its people , for bloody what????. I now have to wait at least five days before someone comes to " fix" my ongoing line problem. All I hear from you dopes is everything with Telstra is just fine and it is the right time to sell to the private sector. Well you can all get stuffed. If this email reaches you it will be a bloody miracle.
 
Collect your salary and sleep well but at least be seen to do something between your holidays and tea breaks. J.L.Nixon.
 
ps, For your information it is official the Mission Beach Tully Heads area has one of the worst reception areas in the country and that includes T.V. as well as internet. So just what are you bludgers going to do about it before you sell?????????????
