Oh, so it's now our mistake

[depechemodefan]

People submit requests for articles and obituaries. We got one person who requested 29 articles a month ago. Exact request was:

Now

Thank you for the update. i am a little confused, I already received material from your library.

I only asked for the following dates for the Houston Post per my original request. I do not need any further material from the chronicle or the Press. These dates for the top half of the front page for the Houston post :

03/01/1917 German war plot
> 12/07/1917 Halifax explosion
> 03/05/1921 Harding sworn in
> 03/05/1933 FDR sworn in
> 12/30/1940 FDR war speech

What would be the cost for these five only.


Luckily, a month ago, before we started work on 29, we were way backed up so the supervisor sent this instruction to us:

5 Only per month notice sent - we will save the rest until April.

Thank God we didn't work on all 29.

I would be so tempted to reply with a copy of their original request "just to clarify". Big fat fibber.

Acutally, when he replied to us, his reply contained the original request. So he has no excuse for saying he didn't request 29 copies, from the 3 papers.

"Prepay". It's a lovely word, isn't it? Learn it, love it, use it. Of couse, then all the asshats will be troubled that you don't trust them.

I only asked for the following dates for the Houston Post per my original request

My apologies, when I saw your request list of the following 29 items, I assumed you wanted all of them.
