Dear Canadian Tire:

This is actually the second time I have written you. I wrote to you a few years back, and never received a response. This has always left me somewhat upset and disappointed with your company, a company for which I have been a loyal customer. I am hoping that this time around, you will respond to me. It would definitely help to put my mind to rest on an issue.

My reason for writing you today is to thank you from all the pleasure I get from your Canadian Tire money. At first, the only thing I used the money for was buying stuff from your store, but in the past few years, I have found a money saving use for it.

I will be quite honest in my letter; I frequently go to the bar and watch exotic female dancers. At first, it seemed the only way to get the dancers attention as to buy them drinks, or tip them with loonies. Either way, I found myself spending way too much money at the bar. One day, I was watching a dancer, and was reaching into my pockets to find something to give to her, when I stumbled upon a Canadian Tire 10 cent piece (at least I think it was a ten center; whatever the red bill is) . I folded it up, and held it extended in my hand for the dancer. She came immediately over, and took it from me. I will be honest; I think she thought it was a fifty dollar bill. When it is rolled up, it can slightly resemble a fifty dollar bill.

I am not proud to admit that I have been doing for well over three years. I find that it saves me money, something I can not afford to be openly giving out. I just wanted to write to you and inform you of how much money your company has been saving me. I wanted to call you and thank you in person, but I figured I could show my appreciation better in a letter (plus the subject is a bit embarrassing to talk about over the phone). If you could please reply to me, and let me know that you have received this letter, I would be most grateful. Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. I heard that a guy in Calgary had a similar idea, and accepted it as currency in the bar he owned.
Thank you for the time you have taken to read this letter. I look forward to your reply.

Yours truly,
