To: Mr. Stephen James
From: Harriet Tubman

Well first of all, calling me "dear" is entirely inappropriate. I don't know what kind of standards you have at CFC, but calling me by that indicates that we are friends - and we aren't. So please don't address me like that. You can address me as Mr. Tubman from here forward.

As far as the increased fee, I am unwilling to pay a higher fee. I demand the original fee. You tell your board that.

Additional Thoughts:

It was startling to observe Stephen act so unprofessional. But here we are.
