"Hello Alexander
We're writing because we haven't seen you for ages. We hope you enjoyed the last time you shopped with us?
There are so many fantastic benefits available to you, including exclusive offers and discounts, it's a shame that you don't seem to have taken advantage of this for a long time.
We'd be very sorry to part ways, but if you would prefer not to receive any further emails from us, please could you let us know? Don't worry, you'll still receive Waterstone's Card emails unless you let us know otherwise."
