Dear Mr. Smiley:

I’m sorry I didn’t make it clearer to you in my letter dated October 7th, 2008. I did not order the radiator from your company. It was sent to me in error so could you please make arrangements to have it shipped back to you. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Edward Ruggles

PS – You must make a great radiator because it’s really heavy! (Ha ha)
Oh, and its Ruggles not Ruggers. Perhaps that’s the mix-up.

Mr. Smiley:

I will most certainly not pay for a radiator I did not order! This is the third letter I have sent asking you how to return it. I do not know why it was sent to me in the first place! I have moved it out on the curb in front of my house. You have the address so you can come pick it up at anytime!

From,

Edward Ruggles.

PS – And it’s Ruggles!!!

Mr. Smiley:

Enclosed in the crate please find the home radiator you sent me. I did not order it and you refused to come get it so after I was fined by the city for keeping it out on the curb I decided to send it back to you. I have also enclosed copies of the fine ($100) and the shipping charge of $95. I will trust you to reimburse me for that!

From,

Edward RUGGLES
