Dear Charity to which I sent a donation,

Thank you for your considerate letter of appreciation. For future reference I see no need for you to waste either monetary resources or the resources of the Earth doing so, but it was thoughtful of you and I will understand if it helps most donators to continue donating. Also for future reference, you know what shows your appreciation even more than sending a thank-you card? Spelling my name right.

Love,

Zandperl

I don't want to give my real last name here, so I'll pick another one to use to illustrate this next story: let's pretend it's "Rosonberg". Our last name is spelled unusually, with an O where there's usually another vowel. My Dad once told a person that our name was "Rosonberg with an O" and received in the mail a letter addressed to "Mr. O'Rosenberg". Even more amusing because they were very clearly trying to make an Irish name out of a Jewish one. Heh. :)
