I got an ugly envelope from the mail box this afternoon.
- Not a bill
- Not a notice of audit from the IRS
- Not another credit card offer
No, this was from a company offering me a membership if I choose to pay their 'dues'. The letter inside says that their records indicates that I am now fully eligible. And I would get some great benefits:
- Their Magazine, special bulletins and guides
- Discount on hotel/motel stays
- Their lobbyist are in Washington D.C. and all state capitols looking after my interest
- Special financial resources
- Health care benefits
- Educational programs
- Shopping discounts
Wait a minute, how do THEY know about ME?
And why are they so ashamed of their full name that they only use initials???
