Here's the story: my gf went back to Japan but had a parking ticket. I wrote a letter to appeal it but they sent me a return letter denying it. Problem is, they sent it to me, not my gf (I did include the proper Japanese address in the previous letter...so they either didn't read it (which would be lame) or they did read it but couldn't comprehend the part where I said "SEND IT TO THIS ADDRESS: XXXXX")
So here's my return letter notifiying them of their oversight: I'd like and suggestions to spruce it up and further toy with them! (perhaps a better ending. Oh and the names were changed too, fyi)
To the City of XXX,
I have recently received the attached letter in regards to a parking ticket for Aiko Azuka. There seems to be a bit of confusion in your office as Aiko has already returned home to Japan. She stayed at my residence for mere days, thus she had no chance of receiving the letter in time. However, what is surprising to me is that I helped her write the previous letter which described, very articulately and meticulously mind you, her exact situation, including, but not limited to, her future residence and contact information. Thus we are left with two situations: the previous letter was either read or discarded without thought.
If the previous letter was in fact left unread, I strongly encourage the responsible party to peruse its contents. Contained within are some of her final statements before her departure from this country. She has always been a law abiding citizen; driven by the honor and respect that has been passed down from thousands of generations of the Azuka lineage. It is in her blood to maintain an honest life akin to her great ancestors who roamed the Japanese countryside. I?m more than confident that sympathy will be had by the conclusion of her letter.
However, if the previous letter had been read, then my time and efforts today have been entirely wasted. She included her contact information yet the letter was sent to me nonetheless. Fortunately, I have taken the proper steps to inform the responsible party as dictated by an employee of your department during a previous phone encounter.
I sincerely hope this has unclouded all confusion surrounding the topic. If not, please contact me at (xxx)xxx-xxxx.
