    Unusual for banks to have a sense of humour! I think they both should be congratulated!

        That is absolutely brilliant. :laugh: I wonder if I can persuade my manager to accept drawings of spiders in lieu of me actually writing any code this month.

            Funny, but I'd have to believe it's fake... Subject says overdue account, but what account, from what company of Credit card? And Jane doesn't have a title or work phone or anything? And what account???? Not that I have any overdue accounts, but I've not ever seen a business email that I can remember not stating who the person represents...especially overdue account emails. If I got that same email, I'd trash it immediately as Spam.

              It doesn't mention where from? And I would assume all identifying information would have been removed. Even if it's fake, it's still pretty funny.

                  I think you are over analysing a joke. I found it to be really humorous. :)

                        May you're not, I found it funny, I also found it possibly fake and, well, I do have as much right to post that opinion as well...maybe you missed my point which makes this totally pointless. :sigh:

                          Well, after I read the comments in the article, it appears they thought it was both funny and true (at least no indication that it's fake). I however did also laugh and found it funny...
