*****<\/p>\n

Dear Exterminator,<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I have received your notice, I ask that you do NOT exterminate in my apartment, Unit 307. I have contacted the property management office and explained to them my personal reasons for why I wish to have no spraying of chemicals, or killing of small creatures, take place in my daily living space. I thank you in advance for respecting my decision, rights, and health and spiritual beliefs \u2013 no matter how silly they are.<\/p>\n

sorry for being so annoying,<\/p>\n

Who\u2019d have thought that a girl who\u2019s happiest living out of a 60-liter backpack could be so high-maintenance? <\/span><\/p>\n

How about another note that’s about to go out in the mail:<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Dear Student Loan Office,<\/span><\/p>\n

I got a paying job. You may temporarily lift my state of forbearance for, as promised, I will make payments on my loans for any time period that I subscribe to the System. Now don\u2019t worry about me. I plan to leave for India again this summer and I still dedicate my life to voluntary service, learning, teaching, and living without respect to monetary and materialistic notions. And of course, your invitation to have tea with me and discuss the issue further remains open.<\/p>\n

with love,<\/p>\n
