Morning all. I don't know how 'funny' I'll feel today but my first order of business today is to send a letter to a stupid consultant.
Here is the text of the letter - my answer, actually. Names have been changed.
Dear Tom,
In regards to your ‘very small expense check’:
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I need for you to send me the receipts so that I may add them up and arrive at a figure for your check. Please either photocopy and fax, or scan and e-mail the receipts so that I may start this process. The sooner I get them, the faster you will be paid.
Additionally, Tom, according to my records, Lana should still have ample petty cash to cover local expenses through the end of the month. I cannot ask Mr. Jones to send her more cash until I receive an accurate accounting of the funds that your office has already received.
Please ask Lana to review and respond to the last several e-mails that I’ve sent.
As always, I value your attention to these matters.
Jay.
PS.
By the way, Tom, the word foul (spelled f-o-u-l) refers to ‘messed up’ or the action of doing things wrong. The word fowl, on the other hand, refers to a bird, such as a chicken.
Did Lana bring a chicken into the office?
Thank you again for seeing to it that I get all of your invoices and expense sheets neatly and on time.
Best Wishes
Jay.
