Urban Myth - Letter Sent to Employee

Will and Guy's Letter Urban Myths

• Letter Sent to Employee
• School Fee Rise

1) Letter Sent to Employee

This is apparently a true story.  This letter was actually sent to an employee.

January 1, 2000
Dear Valued Employee:
Re: Vacation Pay

Our records indicate that you have not used any vacation time over the past 100 years. As I'm sure you are aware, employees are granted 3 weeks of paid leave per year or pay in lieu of time off. One additional week is granted for every 5 years of service.

Please either take 9,400 days off work or notify our office and your next pay cheque will reflect payment of $8,277,432.22, which will include all pay and interest for the past 1,200 months.

Sincerely,
Automated Payroll Processing

Footnote
What do you think?  True or urban myth?  Is the date is a clue - or a good piece of invention?

2) School Fee Rise

An English public school was forced to raise its fees.  The headmaster decided that the simplest way was to implement an across the board 7% increase per annum.  Unfortunately, when the secretary typed the letter, she  missed out a crucial 'n' in the last word of the letter, consequently, it read thus:

Dear Parent

Due to increased building costs, I have decided reluctantly to raise the fees by 7% per anum.

Yours sincerely,
J.B. Williams (Headmaster)

About a week later, one concerned parent replied saying:

Dear Headmaster

I regret your increase in fees, but I would like to continue paying through the nose as before.
