I would like on behalf of Fiduciary to apologize profusely for the
problems you have been encountering lately. This was due partly to
mysterious computer problems which have suddenly ceased to plague us,
but also to the inability of our staff to show any initiative at all
when confronted with a systems breakdown.|
|
I have immediately initiated a training program to counteract this
ridiculous bureaucracy, and trust that in your future dealings with
Fiduciary you will have no cause for complaint.|
|
By way of compensation I have waived all interest and administration
charges for this quarter, and would also like you to accept this free
first-class ticket to Paris.|
|
I also enclose your check book and a new Gold Beezer card and have
raised your credit limit to $10,000.|
|
Sincerely yours,|

Joel X. Slartibartfast|

Glowing with pleasure at your notable victory, you do not even notice that
the bank letter has been redirected from your old address, to which it was
originally sent. You have a nice hot drink and turn in for the night, humming
a happy little song about how much you are looking forward to your trip to
Paris. You are particularly pleased with your impression of the accordion
accompaniment and fall asleep with the words \"">

You have won. Thank you for playing Bureaucracy, and if your future

of Infocom. Have a nice day." CR>
