Olufsen invites you to join our birthday celebrations&lt;br /&gt;with a special offer 85 
years in the making!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Edward,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;November 2010 marks 85 years since two young engineers called Peter Bang and 
Svend Olufsen began producing radios in the attic of the Olufsen family home in 
Struer, Denmark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen is one of the world&amp;rsquo;s leading brands, presenting a 
remarkable portfolio built on the vision set out by our founders in 1925: 
&lt;em&gt;Courage to constantly question the ordinary in search of surprising, 
long-lasting experiences.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Throughout November, we are inviting you to join our birthday celebrations 
with a once-in-85-years special offer:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:normal;"&gt;Purchase 
from a Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen store in Australia and receive your choice of 
&lt;br /&gt;A discount of 8.5%&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;OR &lt;br /&gt;Interest-free payment terms of 85 
weeks, with no deposit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This offer, designed to turn your dreams into reality, is available on any 
product in our range - from magical Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen icons such as the 
BeoSound 9000 audio master or the BeoVision 7 television range, to the newer 
stars such as the BeoSound 5 digital audio master or the stunning BeoVision 10 
family of televisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Birthdays are all about the moment and this is no different - these 
sensational opportunities are strictly limited to purchases made in November 
2010 and delivered by 28th February 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, act now and treat yourself to 85 years of innovation, quality and 
craftsmanship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look forward to welcoming you in November&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
