Subject: Re: Show me the money!

Cute. You acquire two of my yard signs, install them on your property, snap a picture, then send me a bogus bill. I guess your Redacted business must be slow these days.

You have too much time on your hands, my friend.

My reply:

Robert Slattery,

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my invoice. I’ll take this as notice you received and reviewed it. I assure you the invoice is legitimate, and this is not a joke. Please remit the specified charges at your earliest convenience to avoid penalties and collection actions.

If you no longer wish to use my property for your personal political purposes, I suggest you remove it ASAP to avoid further charges. I would also suggest you review the Texas Ethics Commission and TXDOT Title 6, Subtitle H, chapter and section 394.049 regarding asking property owner’s permission prior to placing your signs on private property.

Your friend,

Redacted, President
