Dear Rogers Media:

Thank you so much for taking the time to call me (at work and on my cell phone) to ask if I would like to renew my one-year subscription to my magazine. I was especially pleased to learn that you had already tried to auto-renew the subscription on my credit card, and were only courtesy-calling to get my new credit card information (because the old one had been declined.)

I mean, why bother calling me at all? Obviously, when I checked off "one year" I meant "...or so." Clearly, indicating a finite subscription time really means "please feel free to run amok with my line of credit. Hell, while you're at it, throw your kids' braces and a new pair of shoes on the bill too!"

So thank you, Rogers, for calling me to gauge my interest in my magazine after trying to use my card to renew it. I'm sure those lofty phrases such as "identity theft" and "credit card fraud" don't apply to YOU!

By the way, you know who also loves those phrases? My lawyer.
