... They were sent out by a temp hired from an agency ...

Reminds me of a clipping I saved from Harpers magazine, early 1990s.

From a letter sent by the executive officer of the Canadian Wire Service Guild to an executive with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Ottawa.

Dear Claude,

It has been brought to my attention that a letter sent to you on October 12, 1990, was addressed to you with the greeting "Dear Asshole." This was done inadvertently. I do apologize for this.

A draft of this letter was retyped verbatim by my new secretary, who did not realize that I occasionally use humorous nicknames in drafts of official correspondence. I fully accept the responsibility fo this going out and again apologize for this becoming part of the formal document. I hope you will understand that occasionally an inside joke can go beyond its intended audience. I meant no formal disrespect. As you well know, Claude, if I had anything disrespectful to say, I would say it to your face.

With regrets for any embarrassment that I may have caused, I remain,

Yours respectfully,

Jerry
