I love this...not sure if been posted b4

Next time you get a letter to pay your debts from your creditors, be sure to remember Sipho's letter.

LETTER TO TRUWORTHS

Dear Sir/Madam

I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 1 May in which for the third time, you request that I pay the monies owed to you. I first want you to know that by no means do I dispute my debt and I intend to reimburse you as soon as possible.

However, I bring to your attention that I have many more creditors, quite as honourable as you, and whom I wish to reimburse too. That is why, each month, I throw all the names of my creditors into a hat and draw one randomly whom I hasten to refund immediately. I hope that yours will come out shortly.

Sincerely Yours

Sipho


PS: I regret informing you that given the unceremonious tone of your last letter, you will not be taking part in the next three draws.


Looking for solutions and hoping for a miracle!

    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
