Cheers to the guys who e-mailed me their flyers, but for some sodding reason my computer won't open a Word Document; it says something like 'File Corrupt'; but my computer is nearly new; ruddy thing, so it looks like I'll have to start from scratch.

Anyway, I'd like some help with the wording. 

If it helps, I'm targetting the estates local to me (there's some nice rural estates round here), and also an area where I have a lot of work already (it's where Squeaky lives; he's too posh to clean there).  We do like our work CLOSE TO HOME.

I guess my bonus points are that

1.   We're local
2.   I work with my Missis (some customers like that; I think it makes them feel safer; particularly my elderly ones).
3.  I'm fully insured; I bet there's many round here who aren't.

This is what I've come up with so far:

Tosh  Try opening it with Wordpad first.  Right click on the file icon (not a shortcut), select "open with" and choose wordpad.  If wordpad isn't listed, navigate to it's .exe file (you may need to do a search to locatre it).  Using wordpad will probably lose some of the formatting but the display should give you an idea.
