Subject: new phone request

Hello Support,

As I mentioned to some of you in passing, I inadvertently dropped my cell phone into a toilet this weekend (note: the use of “inadvertently” in that sentence was probably somewhat unnecessary). I assure you that this happened as a result of a pocket malfunction, and not due to any “multitasking.”

As you might imagine, the cell phone is now working sub-optimally. Plus, it was in a toilet. Based on the limited functionality that the phone still has, I’m hopeful that the SIM card is still intact, but the rest of the phone has seen more than anyone in this world should be expected to, and may quite frankly need to be retired. Send it to a nice place, please. It was a good phone, and the world has not been kind to it.

I have the phone with me if you need to review it. It has been sanitized with alcohol, although I still might not recommend eating food off of it. 

Let me know what needs to happen and how possible it might be to get a new, non-toileted phone. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks,

-Jason

UPDATE: I have received a new phone far more quickly than could have been reasonably expected, given the circumstances. There was a great deal of laughing and shaking of heads (deserved, some would argue), but the ZAAZ IT team were otherwise the very souls of responsiveness and empathy.
