Lost and need some guidance Part 2

[Denver_2010]

but I like Denver's advice on sending this email today...

Hey W,

In response to your last text yesterday, I wanted to let you know what you'd need to do to take yourself off the insurance and phone plan.

For [Insurance}, the login is [XXX] and the password is [XXX}. All you have to do once you login is "Delete Driver" and "Delete Vehicle" and you're all set. The next payment comes out on 9-4-12, so if you do it after that date, you'll have a full month to get other coverage, if that's what you decide.

For the phone, the login is [XXX] and the password is [XXX]. You'll want to select your phone and select "Change Plan" then you can switch to an Individual plan with [XXX] if you'd like. If you want to go with another provider, let me know, because I'll have to actually call them to authorize the phone number being switched to another carrier. This bill was paid about 4 days ago, so again you have plenty of time to get other coverage if that's what you decide.

I'll deposit the $500 for my half of the [XXX] trip on September 14 and should be able to get the $ for the couch to you by the weekend you're planning on coming down. Your [WORK] check will be deposited on Tuesday.

I hope that you are well and have a good weekend.

Edits above AT.

I understand what Chatter is saying, but I personally think that your version is good (with the edits). Your version is fairly direct (with my edits), yet it is kind and polite. I just don't think that you want to come across as p!ssed off. Which I'm afraid is how she will perceive chatter's version. IMO, you want to come across as 'to the point', kind, in control.

I haven't seen Starsky poking around the past couple of days, but i'm going to assume that he would lean more towards chatter's version.

I got this a lot during my sitch. Some vets pushed me to be MORE polite and kind, while others pushed me for a more harsh approach. I think that there is a time and a place for both. I see a lot of my sitch in yours, so I'm going with the kinder more gentle approach for now.

JMO.

P.S. - Your email is a bit wordy. Thus the edits. Also, you suggest that she still has to 'decide' on whether she wants these things. I think that she was quite clear yesterday that she does.
