Dear Ishaad,
Provantage Media would like to extend their sincerest apologies to Sheldean Human, the Human family and anyone else who has read the callous and thoughtless comments made by one of our staff members in an email entitled 'stop telling me to wear pink', sent out on 7 March 2007.
Provantage Media would like to categorically state that the views and opinion expressed by this individual in the email are in no way the views and opinion of the company. In expressing her views on this matter the person in question was acting in her personal capacity, entirely on her own accord. The severity of this matter has however been acknowledged by the company and has been dealt with in the appropriate internal manner by the Provantage Media board of directors.
Provantage Media is a company with strong family values and were devastated to hear of the senseless and gruesome acts that befell Sheldean Human.
Provantage Media send their deepest condolences to the Human family and everyone else affected by this tragedy. Provantage Media are proud South Africans and are always willing to show their support in this country's fight against crime. Provantage Media were also very proud participants in the show of solidarity that took place across the country on Friday 9 March for Sheldean Human and will continue to show our support in any future initiatives.
Vaughan Berry

Subject: Stop telling me to wear pink!
Please everyone stop emailing me and telling me to wear pink on Friday in memory of some poor sod who was killed or lost or stolen or WHATEVER!
I don't really give a shyte about poor old Sheldy Weldy who was a victim of crime in our country - we are ALL victims of crime in this country and all of us wearing pink is the most useless idea I've ever heard of in my life to fight crime. What on EARTH is wearing PINK going to do to make this country a better place???
Is a criminal going to skip over the people with pink shirts?
Stop wasting everyone's time and when you think of an idea that will actually make a difference share it with your family, your friends don't actually care.
Thank you

Yeah very career litmiting, someone for your company?
"someone from your company?" I meant to say
That was really a horrible mail considering all the things this little girl went through. I am sorry that your company's name had to be affect by such an individual
Hello Peeps, not my company no, got the mail from someone in the UK.
Ouch! The delete key is a much easier method of protest. "It's better to keep your mouth shut and have people assume you are an idiot, than open it and confirm it".
I recall a hectic email fiasco that took place around '99 or '00. I wont mention names as I'm still good friends with his family but this individual in a major South African company received an email with racist slur and casually forwarded it on to another individual with a comment to the tune of "So what's changed?" meaning he can't see the difference in white mentally between the old and new SA. This somehow got printed and into the hands of a union boss. All hell broke loose! It went so far as to Nelson Mandela opening parliament one day quoting this email and quoting this guys name and the company name. Needless to say he was dismissed immediately. His disciplinary hearing actually asked him how long he had been a member of the KKK(???). Hectic.
There's a great saying I have heard so much recently especially when working in Iraq and the sorts:
"Don't write anything you wouldn't want to see in tomorrow's headlines"
