    Mensagem errada da PPL

    Caros amigos e apoiantes da miha campanha, por favor ignorem a mensagem da PPL na qual diz que a minha campanha não foi bem sucedida. A nossa campanha foi bem sucedida e o CD está pronto. Eu peço desculpa pelo erro do qual não tive culpa nenhuma, acho que aqui a PPL perdeu dois pontos, um por não ter ainda retificado o erro, e outro por na mensagem aliciar-vos a reencaminhar os vossos apoios a outras campanhas, isto não foi bonito. Lembro que esta mensagem não é automática e que os textos das mensagens, mesmo os das mensagens automáticas são sempre escritos por alguém. Apesar de tudo isto, ainda assim tenho bons motivos para elogiar o trabalho da PPL, espero continuar a ter. Abraço a todos, Victor Castro

    Mensagem errada da PPL

    Bom dia, conforme conversado telefonicamente tratou-se efectivamente de um e-mail enviado por erro pelo ambiente de testes (de forma automática, sim) mas já foi enviado um comunicado a alertar para esse facto. Não foi bonito, mas não teve qualquer intenção escondida e fizemos os possíveis para rectificar o sucedido. Cumprimentos, Yoann Nesme
