Dear MBNA,

Again with the two mailings this month? I thought it was just a momentary blunder, but two is a trend! Fortunately for you, I had a balance I wanted to pay off, to the tune of almost $5k, that your cheques would have been perfect for (had I not ripped them up immediatly), but unfortunately I received a “payment holiday” so I won’t need to use your cheques — sorry!

On a holiday,

Kevin

P.S. I noticed your new color scheme for your cheques – red and white is very Canadian, although Canaday Day was earlier this month. By the way, where did you come up with the idea of red and white? I don’t see color in any of our other mailings, or brand?
