From actual letter to owners of boarding facilty I just vacated:
"After ending our boarding stay at your facility, I have calculated that the amount of pro-rated rent owed for this month is almost equal to the cost of having one Coggins Test performed.
Assuming that we were offered a discounted rate for having this test performed on Adair, which is necessary after you failed to return our copy of his Coggins Report, after repeated requests - we find that the difference between the amounts to be one dollar, which I have enclosed.
Thank you"

Gosh, ShannonMK, wasn't that a little harsh?? I figured sneaking back after dark, leaving all the gates open, throwing manure in the EMPTY stall, spraying water all over, then knotting the hoses, AND leaving all the lights on would have been a more subtle approach.hahaha!
I commend you for your brilliant use of diplomacy and sarcasm. Quite refreshing!:hahaha:

Glad you got out.
Just a bit of info for everyone - at least in the racing world, the Coggins belongs to the HORSE, not to a person, and if the horse changes hands, the Coggins sheet goes along with the reg paper. In Canada, when a horse comes on the grounds, the Coggins is handed into the race office, along with reg (claimers, stakes only) and placed in a folder with the trainer's name on it. If a horse is sold, coggins is moved to the new trainer's folder, or given to the new owner if the horse is moved; in the case of condition horses, or horses in training, the trainer picks up the Coggins after they are entered in the system.

That's what I call using your POWER for good. Excellent use of sarcasm. Perfect syntax for maximum impact upon reading. Not much chance of retribution. Long-lasting postitive memory for you... All the good stuff.

You GO, Girl! I'm in a similar letter-writing mode. Here's something I am sending to my insurance company today. I am SO SICK of them denying reasonable claims.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is important information that has been provided to Anthem on numerous occasions. We are continually asked for, and we do supply, this information, and yet claims are repeatedly denied, apparently because Anthem does not maintain these records. Please take immediate action to see that the following is entered where necessary so that our medical and dental claims may be promptly and appropriately covered.
(List of names, dates of birth, schools attended, etc.)
THERE ARE NO OTHER PARENTS. THERE IS NO OTHER INSURANCE. THERE IS NO MEDICARE. Anthem is our only source of dental and health care insurance. We pay out of pocket for our coverage. We have been customers for many years.
My request is that you use this information to update your records and then review all claims you have denied for our family in the past 18 months. Please respond with a personal letter informing me of your action on this matter. We need to seek and receive health care without the frustration and embarrassment of having reasonable claims rejected on a fairly routine basis.

You go girls! I had my OB/GYN visit denied by my insurance for 14 months before it was paid! Do you know how much that visit cost? It was silly, talk about adding lemon to the wound.
Anyway, Blue Cross/Blue shield kept saying I had other insurance, and I did not. It was horrible. So I got all my bills paid (after a friendly call from my lawer AKA my Dad' best friend ;D) and Viola! they paid ;D I switched companies and now get $120/month taken out of my check. Insurance companies stink :smirk:
