Insufficient knowledge of target market...

One of the minor problems we've got in our new house is every inch is tiled, so no matter where you drop something, it shatters. On the other hand, it's easy enough to clean up the dog hair, five minutes with a broom, done.

So, from Kiwi Carpet Cleaners:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. [Whines's Last Name]

Welcome to the World of Kiwi Lovers - where carpet cleanings are $4 per room!

There are other things wrong with this letter, but it's off to an inauspicious start.

There were, as I said, a few errors.

Re: letter errors

Sweetie, we can't agree on what color to paint the living room. Let's not get into legal name changes :)

You should hire them. If they only charge by the room, and don't have an additional 'per visit' fee, then invite them over, and once they arrive, happily pay them the $4 x 0 rooms for their visit.

If they ask why you're wasting their time with frivolous calls, remind them that they started it.

Sigh...unfortunately, it'd be $30 with the "cost to come over" fee, which is not quite cheep enough to warrant frivolous call-ins. sad, sad :(
