Dear Sympatico,
Kindly stop blowing sunshine up my ass and lower the bloody prices for a change, rather than continuing to increase them. I’ve noticed no significant improvement in my service since I signed up, and therefore left scratching my head as to what, exactly, this price hike is supposed to go towards–besides some CEO’s pocketbook, I mean. So, please, either start dropping prices, give me something to justify paying the higher prices, or kindly fuck off.
Sincerely,
Me.
PS. I despise form letters, in any way, shape or form. Just for future reference.
