RE: Haven’t heard from you in a month. You hate us, I know it.

My replies are all so old that Richard probably thinks I’m using him, Chandra’s job got downsized, I completely lost Grandma’s birthday card, Mark probably moved, and Tina will be convinced I really did die.

Typepad Account
RE: Billing Issue
There was an error when we tried to bill your credit card, causing an ending in your subscription to TypePad. This frequently occurs when there is:

  • a billing error caused by your bank
  • a change in your billing address
  • insufficient credit on your account
  • your credit card has expired

Because you are a loyal customer to TypePad you have 7 days to rectify this issue…

Things are looking a little better though. These are my three newest messages:
