Dear All
The letter shown below is probably doing the rounds. For those that haven't seen it I thought it amusing and wondered if anybody had used a similar missive.
"Dear Sir/Madam
I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 7 July 2008 in which for the 3rd 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 pay as soon as possible.
However I would like to bring to your attention that you are not my only creditor. I have many more creditors,quite as honourable and important as you, and whom I wish to pay too. That is why, each month, I throw all the names of my creditors into a hat and draw one randomly. The one drawn is paid immediately. I hope that yours will come out shortly.
Sincerely Yours,
Sipho
PS: I regret to inform you that given the harsh and threatening tone of your last letter, you will not be taking part in the next three draws."
