I received an ad for a "Service contract" on an A/C unit. But these folks (Who shall remain anonymous) know that we don't have a working unit. They KNOW we were turned down for a chance at replacing it. THEY KNOW.
I penned this very carefully worded letter. I was very precise in my words.
DO YOU THINK THEY'LL READ THIS THE WAY I MEAN IT TO BE READ? Or will they get it wrong?
__________________________________________________
Thank you for
offering your service maintenance contract to me.
However, do you not think that it would be more practical to offer such a service
to someone who actually has a working system?
Your agent was out here some time ago, and determined that our unit was irreparable.
We were declined for financial aid, and went on to a couple of other places for the loan, and had the same result each time. Therefore, we have been unable to replace our unit at all, and remain in a very uncomfortable situation until temps come down to a more tolerable level.
Therefore, for your financial well-being and a more tolerable misery level for us,
Please remove my name from your advertising until further notice. Unless we can get a working system, that could be quite some time.
IF, however, you care to see if you can actually fix this beast of a nonworking system, you are free to call to try to arrange a time and date. Be informed that I cannot continue to shell out $100.00 per service call which lasts only 1 or 2 minutes.
While I appreciate the offer, it is prodigal for both of us at this time, and even more so for me.
So, I once again request that you remove my name from your advertising ASAP, and until further notice.
Thank you.
