In the mail today there is something from an address that I don’t recognize with John’s name on it. The outside of the envelope says something about “account information.” So, I figure I’d better open it.
The letter starts off:
__ Crashed?
__ Bike in the shop?
__ Taking time off?
__ Achieved all your goals?
__ Too tired?
Dear John Smith,
Here at VeloNews we are not sure why you haven’t renewed your subscription but we ant you back.
I had several thoughts- First, ” yep… me too”.
Wish it was that easy- “Simply return the renewal form in the prepaid envelope provided.” Sigh.
Finally, “Wonder what boxes apply to John?” Hmmm… Taking time off? Crashed? Too tired?
I’m hoping that John is up there cycling through the clouds…
