Dear Valued Customer (insert name s763)

CONGRATULATIONS! We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for an opportunity to purchase exclusive artworks created during internationally recognized artist Hannah Bertram’s unofficial artist-in-residency at The Unnamed Call Centre.

This return to casual call centre work had been keenly awaited and The Unnamed Call Center is proud to announce that we secured Bertram’s services for a 4-month residency in which her primary focus was to spend up to 5 hours a day calling scientifically selected strangers who had better things to do than talk to her.

In addition, inspired by our company mission statement Feeling liberated and successful? We’ll see to that, during every call centre shift Bertram created a single drawing on a sheet of suitably bureaucratic paper sourced from her own extensive archive of administrative paper work.

By employing the same advanced algorithms used to generate the telephone numbers in our state of the art facility we are thrilled to inform (insert name s763) has been randomly selected for a chance to purchase one of these exquisite works. As a valued customer we have negotiated this special once in a lifetime offer:
