Acceptance speech<\/h4>\n

Kia ora. Thanks for inviting us to write an acceptance speech, WriteMark \u2013 we owe you!<\/p>\n

First, we must graciously accept our finalist status for \u201cWorst Brainstrain Communication.\u201d The compliance document for the five major banks now has a broader audience \u2013 not our intention \u2013 but we\u2019re somewhat bemused!<\/p>\n

As much as we would like to think our policies lined the bookshelves of the New Zealand general public, and were required summer holiday reading for the beach, BS11 is not aimed at the general public. But we hear you!<\/p>\n

We will consider adding a disclaimer to the document to read \u201cAttention: anyone reading this document (other than the five major banks\u2019 lawyers and risk managers) may experience the following symptoms: googly eyes, light-headedness, vertigo, slumber and eventually, coma.<\/p>\n
