In May 2012, Shane Bennett sent a message to Samsung via Facebook. The 26-year-old spiced up his inquiry with a drawing of a dragon in hopes of securing a free gadget hookup from the tech giant.

Bennett was amused at the company's clever reply. So, naturally, Bennett posted a screenshot of the conversation to Reddit.
Early this week, Bennett received his free Galaxy S III, personalized with his original dragon drawing. He shared a photo of the letter and his new phone to Reddit as well.

The letter reads:
"Dear Shane,
As a token of our appreciation for the positive media you helped us attain earlier this spring, we'd like to thank you with this very cool one-of-a-kind Samsung Galaxy S III. This is the only customized S III in Canada, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed watching the story of the Dragon and the Kangaroo go viral.
Many thanks,
Samsung Canada"
Well played, Samsung. Well played.
