Dear Kamala:

I sure do appreciate that you are frugal and obviously out to save our money by taking all those little spaces out between the words.  I have rethink my perceptions of you and am sure you will not recall the time we spoke on the phone when I called to complain the California Franchise Tax Board had taken $1,000 out of my Bank of America account without a court order, per law.  Where you seemed not to understand what I was saying and I thought you disengenuous I now see that you are a simple-minded screwup.

Have a nice day, Adrian Vance
