Dear Subscriber,
Thank you for your payment. We hope you're enjoying your
subscription to Modern Lint.
By now you're aware that Modern Lint is the chief source
of news on lint today, with such articles as "Celebrity
Lint: What Would You Give for J.Lo's?" "Lint
in Ancient Mesopotamia," and "Is There Lint
After Death?"
So let us take a moment of your time and ask: Have you
thought about renewing your subscription? If you just
write a check and pop it in the mail right now, we'll
have your check shortly, and put it in our bank account!
And we won't have to keep wasting postage and cluttering
up your mailbox with witty little rejoinders to re-up.
Remember: rates will never be lower than they are today.
So why not whip out that ol' checkbook right now and save
us all a lot of grief?
Yours in lint,
Lynn T., Head Linter
Dear Subscriber,
Frankly, we're perplexed.
You've been a subscriber to Modern Lint for 2 ˝ weeks
now, and we still have not received your renewal form,
which leaves us wondering: Is your subscription satisfactory?
Do you receive the issues in a timely fashion? Are you
enjoying the ferret?
Perhaps you think that it's not necessary to renew because
you have a "lifetime subscription." But we've
checked out your actuarial tables, and frankly, your "lifetime
subscription" may expire a lot sooner than you think!
Have you thought about cutting back on the pork chops?
But seriously, by renewing now, you can insure that your
children will receive future issues, even if you're no
longer around!
Semper lint!
Lynn T., Editor in Charge of Lint
Dear Subscriber,
As you're aware, publishing a magazine is not cheap, and
we offer very low subscription rates as a way to guarantee
to advertisers a certain circulation, and,well, we're
blowing all your subscription money on these renewal letters!
We ask you: is that fair? We think you'll agree that it's
not. So won't you take a second right now and send us
a check? Huh? Huh? Wont'cha? Huh?
Lintcerely,
Lynn T - Lint Honcho
Dear Subscriber,
OK. If you don't want to renew your subscription, how
about just sending us a check anyway?
Lynn T
Dear Subscriber,
We didn't want to tell you this, but you leave us no choice:
you're our only subscriber, and if you don't renew, well,
to be honest, it's going to be very difficult to stay
in business. On the other hand, if you renew, it will
fill our office with hope, knowing that we're retaining
our subscriber base, while working towards increasing
it in the future. So won't you help us survive? Remember:
your subscription is tax-deductible!
Lynn T, Lintress
Dear Subscriber,
We're very sorry that you have chosen to cancel your subscription
to Modern Lint. Especially with our new features, "Lint
in Cinema," Martha Stewart's 'How To Build a Lint
Trellis,' and the 'Miss Lint' centerfold.
But we were completely taken aback by the restraining
order. None of us were aware that it was even possible
to get a restraining order against sending subscription
letters in the mail. Frankly, we all thought your reaction
was a little extreme.
In light of this hostile response, we'd like to ask you
to return the encyclopedia and the ferret. Thank you.
Lynn T
