In closing… 4/21

How do you part company with others? In some cases it’s hard to say good bye. If it’s a positive parting even harder. Even in a negative situation it’s still a matter of good form to try and part positively instead of throwing somebody the bird. In letters we us "sincerely yours , or truly yours" as closers.

This is pure B.S. But it’s hard to close a letter by telling the a person to kiss off, showing our true feelings. Even though we’d like to - I. E. “and furthermore Mr. Electric Utility you can take your amps and stick it…. signed …Yours truly Fred Brown..” No, No. quite bad form for you can read right through intent. For the power company is not going to come to your home to fix your power line that a tree took out on the last big blow… you must use the positive approach...

“I would sincerely appreciate it if you would send your repair crew would fix our downed lines as the governor will be stay with us this evening, my brother the governor, the Hon’able Ralph Waldo Smedberg, I remain in you debt , Sincerely….” Sell the sugar! A double hit of sugar. Instead try this “ listen you fat ass desk jocky get off your lazy end and get the juice flowing, I can’t miss Wheel of Fortune. Signed one dead beat. “
If non of the above works, just tell them you attorney is filling suite.
OK, get the point ? So sign off with smiles instead of ’ kiss off. Smiles.

Dude.

Your recent blogs are getting kind of edgy these days. It's all good. I think you'll have a good golf season this summer.

Smiles.
