Dear Sir,

May it come to your attention that free leaflets are free. As we have made zero profit on them, we are happy to transfer to your numbered Swiss bank account the sum of 0% of our profit on the free leaflets. Just fill in the attached forms in triplicate, notarized, citing your authorization etc. etc.

Yours,

PPS Would you care to receive one of our free flealets?
Dear sir,

We acknowledge our administrative error in billing you for the distribution of your free leaflets. We note however, in your last correspondence, that you offered to send us one of your free 'flealets.'
You are hereby notified that is a criminal act to 'let out fleas' without first notifying the Inland Revenue. We therefore inform you of the penalty charge of £1200 which we ask you to forward at your earliest convenience.

Yours,

Chief Tax Officer

Dear Sir,

We hereby acknowledge a grievous typographical error which unintentionally occurred in our previous correspondence. This was due to a fault in the speech recognition software on our recently upgraded-to-Windows-10 computer. We kindly ask you to forward your claim to Redmond Calif.

Yours most sincerely,

The Swiss Banker


PS The offer of three teapots still stands.

PPS Excuse the typographical error. That should have been freak tree snots.

PPPS We are rolling back to Windows 8.1 forthwith.

PPPPS If you should require a numbered bank account free of service fees, we are at your disposal.

Dear Sir,

It appears that you are desperately hard up to raise 1200 pounds. (Accumulated Dartford Tunnel crossings, perhaps? Well, none of our business, really.)

We would be happy to extend to you a credit for 1200 pounds at an interest rate of 12% per annum (you seem to like twelves).

Pay us back whenever you should return to solvency; we’re not in a hurry. We do ask, however, that you make payments in gold sovereigns.

Yours,

The Swiss Banker

PS The free leaflets are still free.
