JUST BE SURE YOUR LETTERS READ THE WAY YOU INTENDED.
A furniture company attempted to collect some overdue bills by sending delinquent customers this letter:
"Dear Mr. Jones: What would your friends and neighbours think if our truck pulled into your driveway some afternoon, and our men came into your house to pick up the items of furniture for which you have not yet paid us? -- Shelby Furniture Company."
Back came this prompt reply from a customer:
"Gentlemen: I have talked over this with my friends and neighbours and they all think it would be a pretty lousy trick. -- Harry Jones."
