This morning the email brought a comment from niece Carole. I tell you that too tell you this. Above her signature was a moving insert of three ducks quacking. Those who know Carole understand of which I speak.
I have noticed lately that there are several thin lines of ants crossing the sidewalk during my morning walk. Here today gone tomorrow.
I finally got tired of picking up fliers dropped on my driveway for everything under the sun. Jeez! So I drafted the following letter. I doubt that it will do more than make me feel better.
Your flyer dropped on my driveway contained some thought provoking ideas. Particularly of interest too me were the one labeled "Think creatively and flexibly" and "Take care of yourself."
I tell you that to tell you this. I have limited mobility and find it very difficult to bend over to pick things such as your flyer off the ground. Since I am unable to pick up such items, it is necessary for me to pay others to do it for me.
Which brings me to the point of this missive. I don't believe it is fair of you to ask me to support your marketing effort by picking up after you. Therefore, beginning June 1, 2009 I am instituting a policy to invoice the sender of any piece dropped on my property $5.00 for each day any item is left on my property.
Thank you for your suggestions and I trust you will honor my new policy in the future.
Drafting letters sometimes makes me believe that we're all on this flight together.
