Sometimes I Wonder...

I'm just now getting around to responding to a letter I received in June of this year. That letter came from an insurance / investment group in Fort Payne, Alabama, and was hand addressed with my father-in-law's name. Inside the envelope was a business card, a company flier, a response card, and a personally signed letter with the following initial information:

RE: "STOP PAYING LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOREVER"

Recently I received your reply card requesting information on the above topic. Enclosed please find the information as promised to you.

My letter of response:

To the "person" in charge:

You sent this material for <Father-in-law's name> to my address earlier this year. You stated (LIED) that you "had received your reply card..."

<Father-in-law's name> died in November 2005. His name is only associated with my address because of that death.

I suggest you find a better mass mailing database. The one you used for this mailing only confirms one of two things:

You're cheap.

or

You're stupid.

Your choice.

Sincerely,

Byron Todd

I mailed the original contents and my response back to the "person". I was seriously tempted to use the word moron or idiot instead of "person".
