It's an updated version of the classic "bedbug letter".

That story originated in the 19th century, and it went something like this ...

A customer on a Pullman sleeper coach passed a terrible night, eaten alive by bedbugs.

The next day, full of wrath, he wrote a letter to the railway complaining of his experiences.

He gets back a lengthy letter detailing how the company was taking his concerns super-seriously, had located and pulled the offending coach off the line, washed it with carbolic acid, and how the employees and inspectors responsible had all been fired, etc. Closing with a fulsome apology.

Paper-clipped to the letter, and included inadvertently, was a brief memo: "Ms. Secretary, please send this bastard the 'bedbug letter'. Thanks."
