What Chris says is absolutely correct!  You shouldn't even respond to
the persons note without passing it on to your management, Legal
Department, PR department, Customer Service Department or whatever
(depending on how big your company is).  Even then, it should not be for
you to respond, but for one of them.  Leave that to the people who get
paid to deal with the customers...
