Dear Editor,

Re: Obituary Notice

The newspaper has misprinted my name in the obituary that I sent.

Your error has caused my insurance claim to be denied as wholly fraudulent.

As yet, I have not been laid properly to rest, creating a predicament.

I cannot, at my behest, collect anything from my last will and testament.

Please, publish an acknowledgment of your grave mistake so I may pay my rent.

Sincerely,

Jesse Doiron
