Here in our new Global Headquarters in Yorkshire England, we have developed the ultimate device to allow Bread & Bread Related Products to become hip and groovy once again.

Made of specially bio-engineered fungus, not only does it provide the consumer with an uplifting anecdote about one way that bread has made the world great, it automatically recognises the readers country of origin and displays the message in their native tongue!

A small pilot group of international bakers, are in the vanguard of the thrust to bring bread to the huddled masses who for far too long have been yearning for cake and forgetting the delights of the bread that is set before them. Attached to this letter, you will find a whole weeks supply of labels for you to fix to every Bread & Bread Related Product you ship.
