This message is from: pedfjo...@aol.com In light of recent complaints regarding torn and muffed up Fjord Heralds, I decided to take action and wrote the following letter.
Dear Postmaster, Regarding the condition of our beloved Fjord Herald, I am writing to you in a desperate attempt to rectify this unacceptable situation. The fact that apparently even you're most seasoned delivery carriers are taking it home to read before arriving at its destinations is a gross scar on the normally excellent service you have trained us to expect. Creases, little frays of the edges and ripped covers are not the entire problem, although very un-professional in my opinion. Jelly and peanut butter smears on the photos of the Fjords....coffee stains ( suggesting to me ADULT participation as well ) on the ads for carriages and ( oh horror ) crumpled back cover, is aproaching criminal. I have even heard of dog hair, crayon creatures being drawn next to beautiful photos and X-mas lists scribbled on empty spaces listing " grey dun, filly, english saddle, bridle and a pink pad with matching leggins' . " Well. It should not be too difficult to assume that some poor pony starved child needs more adult supervision. Like you're carriers, we wait anxiously for each issue. Dispite the fact that some of the writers do not even one time, include the real ( registered ) names of the Fjord pony they are writing about...... OR maybe one teeeny mention of their bloodlines, forcing us to run to our computers and look it all up, it is an important moment when we sit down on the ground at our mailbox's or stretch out on the floor inside the Post Office, to scan the latest in accomplishments from our talented membership. I might even offer that recieving the latest issue of the Fjord Herald equals recieving our tax refund, ( or IOU if you live in CA. ) Publishers Clearing House notification of winning a subscription and ( GASP ) offer from a Credit card company that you may qualify for a 50,000 credit line at 22 %. We are outraged and will not stand for any more disrespect of our official magizine. Please ask ALL you're carriers to contact Mike May, or visit the NFHR webpage to offer a list of breeders and ponies for sale, and direct you're carriers to go get their own Fjord. I noticed also, that you again raised our rates for first class stamps. All of my own bills were returned to me for lack of .2, my bad of course. However.....please take this as an official notice that our Heralds must be sent across the country, sit in huge bins of assorted E-Bay auction packages, be rifled through by the DEA Drug puppies, thrown into airplanes and transported 1,000's of miles, only to be tossed around into more bins, thrown into stinky old delivery trucks and hand delivered to our own homes. They should arrive in the pristine condition that we all expect. It has been noticed as well, that my QH based magazine arrives unread. Interesting. Yes, we expect alot. We are Fjord people. We are USED to perfection. Lisa Pedersen Pedersens Fjords Cedar City, UTAH ************** Dell Deals: Treat yourself to a sweet deal on popular laptops!
