More bile and venom can be squeezed into a trade union letter that starts with the words ‘Dear Sir and Worthy Brother’ and ends up with ‘Yours fraternally’ than any other piece of business correspondence. So it has been said, but not altogether fairly, for there have been plenty of cases in which company boards, too, faced with a hostile bid from an unwelcome competitor, have used language not exactly noticeable for its temperance.
