Clearly, they do not use a spell checking or punctuation-type checker when they generate these letters. The real kicker is all the different companies mentioned in the letter, and on the check. Also, the different amounts listed in the letter and on the check. Granted, it's only off by forty-five cents, but still you would think they would be more on the ball!
