Credit Card Offer Addressed To 'Palestinian Bomber'
Quote:
A 54-year-old grocer was sifting through his stack of mail when he noticed a credit-card offer addressed to "Palestinian Bomber."
The stunned Palestinian-American, Sami Habbas, then opened the letter that began with the salutation, "Dear Palestinian Bomber."
Habbas telephoned J.P. Morgan Chase, which sent the solicitation, on the company's toll-free number, provided his ZIP code and invitation number from the form. Two operators addressed him the same way: "Yes, Mr. Bomber, what can we do for you?"
Habbas is a 54-year-old grocer who has lived in the United States since he was three and has served in the U.S. Army. He said he was shocked.
Chase Card Services, the Delaware-based credit card line of J.P. Morgan Chase, is investigating the solicitation.
In a statement, Chase Card Services executive vice president Kelly Presta said the information on the letter was obtained from a list purchased from a vendor.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, D.C., calls the letter "racially insensitive."
