Man says florist's note wrecked his marriage, sues for 1 million dollars
WASHINGTON, Aug 14, 2007 (AFP) - A US florist company which sent written thanks to a customer for his order of a dozen roses now is being sued by the man, who says the note tipped off his wife about the new love interest in his life.
US media reported Tuesday that the company -- called 1-800-Flowers, after the phone number customers dial to place their orders -- sent a written acknowledgment to Leroy Greer for his 100-dollar order of an arrangement of one dozen long-stemmed roses and a stuffed animal.
According to the report carried by the American Bar Association Journal, a legal publication, the note was spotted by Greer's wife, who placed a call to the company seeking clarification about the order.
The floral company faxed her a copy of the sales receipt, along with the note sent by her husband to his new girlfriend.
"Just wanted to say that I love you and you mean the world to me!" read the greeting, according to the report.
Greer's wife has since filed for divorce -- armed with the invoice as evidence of his infidelity.
For his part, Greer has filed suit against the floral company in his home state of Texas, blaming it for the breakup of his marriage.
Greer reportedly has accused the company of breach of contract, insistinga sales representative told him there would be no notice of the flower purchase sent to his home or business.
The ABA contacted the flower company, which responded: "we take all matters relating to our customers seriously."
It added however: "we are not responsible for an individual's personal conduct."
