Novel Payment
A Kansan doctor once decided upon a novel idea for sending accounts to delinquent patients during the Christmas holidays. With each bill he enclosed this letter: “ Dear Mrs Blank, “Since this is the period of goodwill to men, we make it one of forgiveness for you. We offer you a gift. The bill you owe us is cancelled. The debt is forgiven—with just one proviso! “ You must make an equivalent cash gift tp a worthy charity. Send us their receipt and your account will be considered closed.”
Precaution
The small son of an important business executive wrote to Santa Claus, asking for an inordinately long list of presents. The letter ended thus: “If you can't handle this order, let me know and I’ll take the matter up with Dad.”
