Talking 87 of the same letters

Yesterday the mailman delivered 87 of the same letters to my house. They were from the VA saying they were sorry about the loss of a lap top that had my personal data in it but not to worry the FBI said the info was not compromised. They were all addressed to my address and had my first and last name right but inbetween the first and last name was different initials or names. Best one I found was John Wayne Hager , I hope he is doing well

Our Government employee's doing what they do best.
Someone forgot to Tab down and change the address while going threw the Last name. Everyone makes misstakes, I guess.
To bad there wasn't a check in each envelope.

87 letters and no check? Hey it can happen, like the time the VA owed me $250 and sent me $2,500. Did I keep it even after the guy in the regional office said they didn't make a mistake? Of course not, having been dropped from a balcony as a child by one of Michael Jackson's great great uncles I dutifully returned the whole enchilada. When I think of how far I could drive on $2,500 (at least to theOzarks)it makes a girl want to cry.

Gasp!! What!! The vaunted VA actually made a mistake?? How can this be? Be careful, or they'll charge you for all the postage? Ahh, yes, our tax dollars hard at work, again.

Angry I'm hurt!

I didn't even get one.

I can't handle this rejection.

I need help.
