In May 2012, Shane Bennett sent a message to Samsung via Facebook. The 26-year-old spiced up his inquiry with a drawing of a dragon in hopes of securing a free gadget hookup from the tech giant.
Bennett was amused at the company's clever reply. So, naturally, Bennett posted a screenshot of the conversation to Reddit.
Early this week, Bennett received his free Galaxy S III, personalized with his original dragon drawing. He shared a photo of the letter and his new phone to Reddit as well.
The letter reads:
"Dear Shane,
As a token of our appreciation for the positive media you helped us attain earlier this spring, we'd like to thank you with this very cool one-of-a-kind Samsung Galaxy S III. This is the only customized S III in Canada, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed watching the story of the Dragon and the Kangaroo go viral.
Many thanks,
Samsung Canada"
