Oh sorry! I thought you had sent him an email previously ... some weeks ago, and I couldn't remember if he had responded.

Okay then. I still don't think you should send one since you haven't yet given him much time to return it. If it had been a substantial amount, say more than a $1000, then I would not email, but call him and ask him directly what is going on with the account. Even if he doesn't return these particular funds, and you are able to continue living there, then I would leave well alone. As long as he still paying enough to cover the mortgage.

Here's the thing ... if you pounce on every cent he takes out, you are going to exhaust yourself. I would guess that things are going to get worse before they get better. Haggling over a couple of hundred dollars is just going to stress you out.

If you feel you must send the email, I would suggest keeping it simple and businesslike: "Please don't withdraw money from the joint billing account. You recently withdrew $125.00 from the account, and another $5.00, so it would be nice if you could return it ASAP."

I think it's a good idea to let people know about the S.

Take care.
