FedEx,
In early July our firm contacted your public relations department and suggested a possible response to the FedEx Furniture Guy. Our calls and emails went unanswered. There is a conversation taking place about FedEx and yet, your voice is largely silent. There are a million productive ways to respond to Jose’s project. Instead your firm has threatened legal action against a kid who can’t even afford furniture for his apartment. I have seen the letters and briefs your company has prepared and filed with the court - how many hours have your lawyers spent on this? It is late, but not too late to turn this opportunity around for the benefit of FedEx, its shareholders, and its customers. If you would like to discuss the options please feel free to give me a call at 214.550.2003 (ask for Alexander Muse).
Regards,
Alexander Muse
Update: Now, with the story slashdotted, more nasty conversation. Sure you don’t want a quick means to speak to this story?
Extra update: At least some FedExers are taking to their personal blogs and talking about the creativity involved here.

I think that Mr.Avila, a/k/a “David,” could settle this whole matter and appease the lawyers at Fedex a/k/a “Goliath” by simply agreeing to SHIP his furniture to his next residence. Suffice to say, Fedex lawyers incontestably do NOT think outside the box, do they?
