A letter from the editors of the Daily and Sunday Express has arrived in the post and I feel I must share its contents with you:
Dear Mr Greenslade,
If you haven’t seen the Daily and Sunday Express recently, you’re in for a real treat.
Britain’s liveliest newspapers have been at the forefront of great journalism for 115 years and we continue to crusade against injustice or wrong-doing while also applauding the good in the world.
From recognition for WW2 Bomber Command heroes to fighting to bring down inheritance tax and stamp duty, our crusades catch the mood of the nation.
Trust our papers to be first with the big scoops too. For instance, we were first to reveal that the then home secretary, Jacqui Smith, claimed adult films on her expenses, and Vanessa Feltz had been sexually assaulted by Rolf Harris on live TV.
We’d love you to join us every day, and are confident that you’ll see why the Daily and Sunday Express are more than just newspapers.
With the vouchers enclosed, you can try us out for FREE for a week. Just hand the voucher to your newsagent when you pick up the paper.
If you like what you see (and we think you will), you can subscribe to the Daily and Sunday Express at HALF PRICE for 3 months, and signing up is easy - by post, phone or online.
Please don’t miss this opportunity, you won’t get better newspapers at a better price.
Yours faithfully, Hugh Whittow, editor, Daily Express; Martin Townsend, editor, Sunday Express
If anyone wants the vouchers, please get in touch.
