c/o the bane of financial institutions

for lack of anything else more meaningful to write, i include the text of an unnecessarily wordy letter sent to My Video Shoppe of Grand Rapids, MI, which reads as follows:

1 de enero de 2005

To whom this may concern at My Video Shoppe:

My name is Zachary Campbell and I have been one of your customers for awhile now. At some point in the late fall/early summer of last year I accumulated some late fees for a few DVDs at your locale. I was informed of my tardiness and of the fact that financial matters would be turned over to some sort of financial and/or collecting institution if I weren’t to turn in my viewing selections either that night or the next day. I promptly returned the discs in the time allotted.

Earlier this past month I was contacted by a credit agency alerting me of a matter of debt I currently have with My Video Shoppe. Said agency had not been able to contact me until then because I had undergone a change of residence; I wasn’t aware that I owed My Video Shoppe said debt. The week of 20 December I contacted My Video Shoppe and discovered that the amount was around $88 USD. I am enclosing a personal check in the amount of $90 USD, in order to settle my debt.

If there is any further matter that needs to be addressed between us, you can contact me via e-mail (as I will be living abroad in the following months) at zachcampbell@gmail.com.
I wish you success in your continued pursuit to offer films of a higher quality and variety to the populace of West Michigan. I appreciate your fairness in this matter.

Best Regards,


Zachary David Campbell
