Dear Writer Magazine: Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of your kind offer of a special price on my subscription. I wanted to renew online, as that is the cool thing to do (save a stamp, save a tree). Since the deadline for the special price was approaching, I figured this would be the easiest way to send you my money. Unfortunately, you don’t seem to know me.
I have more than one web address, but neither one worked. Apparently I have also neglected to record the proper password to access your site. This means that I can’t even have you send an email to reset my password, because neither email address is recognized by your website.
At least I know you will contact me again soon, before my subscription actually expires. If the post office still exists, I’ll mail you a check.
