Classic dad "We don't paint."

The following is a letter dad wrote to his employer that had him paint a fence with his friend/co-worker. Apparently they didn't like painting. After some research and a couple days the recipient realized that he'd been had.

Dear Mr. N.,
Our law firm represents the interests of Mr. H. R. Greenlaw, who resides at 11329 North Robin Street, Mesa, AZ.
On or about the eleventh of May this year, Mr. Greenlaw had opportunity to contact some painters who identified
themselves to be employees of your company. At the time these persons were applying light cream colored paint to
a stucco fence on a property on Nora Drive, adjacent to our client's property. Mr. Greenlaw owns a 1993 Lexus
G-30. The vehicle is black and maintained in showroom condition. At the present time there are thousands of light
cream colored spots on three sides and the top of the vehicle. Mr. Greenlaw requests that you provide the labor
and materials to return his vehicle to the showroom condition that he normally maintains. In addition he requests
a modest sum of money to compensate for the inconvenience and embarrassment that he has suffered at the hands of
your obviously negligent employees. The small sum of thirty thousand dollars is considered by Mr. Greenlaw and
our firm to be adequate at this time.
We look forward to hearing from you, or your bank within the next ten days.

Thank you.

Lamar A. Pentameter, Attorney at Law
