- Mountain_Skies 7y agoDear Department of Mathematics, Our client, Amazon.com Inc., has a trademarked the word Prime for all uses, across the known and yet to be discovered universe. Immediately cease and desist from using the term "prime numbers" to describe those a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. Our client understands this may cause some minor inconvenience to yourself and your colleagues. As a token of goodwill, we are offering all fulltime staff in your department Amazon Prime membership at the discounted student rate for one (1) year. By reading this letter, you implicitly agree to the above terms.
