Electricity account

The Chairman (Mr. Frik Birkenstock),

 

Dear Sir,

 

I have sent through a notification for my e-mail address change. In a follow up letter I praised the chairman for promptly acting on this notification. I am now not sure if my praise was prematurely sent because it is now the 28^th October 2010 and I have not yet received my normal electricity account via my new e-mail address.

 

There might be a number of reasons for this oversight but I concluded that one of the following may have happened:

1)       The Treasurer may not have been notified of my new address.

2)       The Treasurer may have been notified but have updated the information.

3)       The Treasurer may have been notified but incorrectly updated the information.

4)       The Management have made other rulings and rudely have omitted to notify and get my agreement.

5)       And, then my wife reminded me that the chairman may have taken offence to me trying to solve my SPAM problem.

 

The original agreement I had with the management in general and with the treasurer specific was that my account will be hand delivered to my abode. But then out of the blue it was sent via e-mail. And some months up to 5 different value and/ or information accounts. I did not complain about it because I preferred e-mail as it is a more secure system the hand delivery.

 

May I remand the chairman that SPAM and backdoors are now part of our life and all internet users must endeavour to eradicate the offenders? Just this month MWEB (the biggest internet supplier in South Africa) had their site invaded. (Attached find an address as to what really happens with ADSL site - http://mybroadband.co.za/news/adsl/16003-MWEB-uncapped-ADSL-All-the-facts.html ) Just as example I attach a sample of what has happened on my machine this month (October 2010):

 

 

 

The worrying factor is Phishing sites.

 

The purpose of this letter is:

1)       To bring this problem to attention of the chairman.

2)       To ask the chairman to investigate why I may not receive my electricity account.

3)       If the chairman agreed with alternate arrangements to notify me as to what the arrangement are.

4)       If arrangements have already been instituted, apologise for not notifying me and assuming that I am just in agreement what management enforces on us (my wife and I).

5)       If the treasurer feels offended that only he can have backdoors please convey to him that it happens to the best of us (even to service providers and if you look at the attachment you will see that my software has blocked six phishing sites on my machine this month alone). But since changing my specific e-mail address I do not receive any more SPAM. And that is all I tried to achieve and, was very successful in that.

 

Sincerely,
