.... must be told avoid actually answering questions because they may be held accountable, which would be embarrassing, given the fact that many of them haven't got a clue… read on…

(I copied the last email directly, so it reads in "reverse order", with my initial email at the bottom. Reads better if you start at the bottom and read "up". I deleted the employee's name and address to protect the stupid. PID = Property ID. PAN = Property Account Number.)

This is correct.

If Invoice No. 9000047188, Client No. 67352 is for PID No. 25023797, PAN No. 02388535, I don't need to call you as this is the information I asked for in my first and subsequent emails.

If you need anything from me, or if the above is incorrect, please advise me by email ASAP as I will be paying the annual rental in the very near future.

Thank you again for your time and effort in the provision of the information requested.

Gary

Please advise me of the PID or Property Account No. for your invoice number 9000047213 or for your invoice number 9000047188. SNB has informed me they do not have this information and that I can only obtain it from you.

Thanks again.

Gary

Hi Gary:

I assume we were not talking about the same thing, the invoices I sent were for you annual lease rental with Dept. of Natural Resources.

If you are talking about property tax payment on you lease, you need to contact SNB regarding your account number for your property tax. I believe it is on your invoice from the Dept. of Finance. If you need further clarification, please call me.

Thanks,

The account numbers are 02388535 and 082388543. The PID's are 25023797 and 25015496 respectively. The Client No. is not the account number. I have two invoices with the same Client No.

I concluded the assignment of PID 25015496, Account No. 02388543 yesterday. The annual rental will be paid by the new lessor. Therefore, I need to know which is which before I can make payment for the other property.

As this payment is due by May 1, please advise me in this regard or provide me with a written extension of the due date.

Gary

Hi Gary:

The client No. is the account number. We appreciate your comments, but the system(s) does not have the ability to put any more information then is now on the invoice. We do not require any further information on the receipt if the remittance slip from either the invoice or the statement is attached. If this is not available either the invoice # or the client # is all we require.

Thanks,

Re subject invoices No.s 9000047188 and 9000047213 to me, Client No. 67352, I must know the corresponding PID's or the account numbers in order to make payment. This information is not shown on the invoices.

If I may be so bold as to offer you a suggestion for your consideration, inclusion of this information on your future invoices would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time and for your effort in provision of the information requested.
