Question 1 The following questions are based on the letter
below.
Dear Madam:
Unfortunately, because you have not paid your account for the last
three months, we have absolutely NO CHOICE but to turn off your
heat soon. We know that winter is upon us and it's a horrible time
to be without heat, but you really brought this on yourself.
Next time, we recommend PAYING your bills ON TIME. If you get us
your outstanding payments soon, you can keep your heat. As always,
we appreciate your business and value you as our customer.
Sincerely, Tcnaga Api Customer Service Team

Hope you doing good ? This mail is regarding as you are our one of the Premium Customer and for our company "Customer is God " .Mam us we were suprised to check that you have not paid your electricity bill dues from the last three months and we were suprised to see that from a Premium Client like you .
At our company we have some Rules and Regulations which we follow for every client without any biasness so As per following the rules and regulations we feel very bad as WE HAVE TO TURN OFF YOUR HEAT SOON.
Mam as you know it is the Winter time so its is very horrible and uneasy to rest and sleep without Heat so i would request you or if suppose you have missed paying the dues this would be a Gentle reminder for you to clear the dues on very urgent basis to avoid any Connection breakdowns or any other Consequences .
So its a request madam as we don`t want our Strong Relationship with you should be effected by just a small thing so kindly clear all the remaining Dues so that you can enjoy your Heat in Winters and also we recommend you for PAYING your bills on time in future and coming days .
As always, we appreciate your business and value you as our customer .
