Hi There!

Yesterday I got the strangest statement from a service cumpany.

I got a $3.45 service charge on a 9 cent credit balance.

At least their math was good, they credited the nine cents against
the 3.45 and came up with $3.36 due.

At first I was a bit miffed, but then I saw the solution.
Rather than waste a stamp and envelope on this, I faxed them a
five dollar bill and told them to keep the change.

Hey Gene! Boy did you make a mistake!!!

You will soon be getting a bill for a $62.87 service charge due to
your overpayment!

My advice is to leave the balance due when the bill comes in. They
should start paying you interest on the balance owed. This will
eventually cancel the amount due.
