Business & Finance - 3 August 2007

The landlord failed to provide oil on several occassions leaving us in the deep freeze AND failed to fix a water heater for an entire month. We received a letter from him in May stating that he was no longer going to provide oil for our unit. This was after he left us out in the cold at least four times wihtin the year and a half we lived there (In PA). My lawyer advised that this letter was a breach of contract and to give our 30 day notice advising that he keep the $400 security deposit and get the He_ _ out of there. He is now suing us for unpaid rent and damages that he claims in the house. We took numerous photos and we didn't damage a thing. What logic is this guy going by? Can he beat us in court?

I wanted to get a feel for what people think is the most important "value" an advisory board brings to a small business. Also, would you pay to have someone facilitate advisory board meetings with fellow business owners?

Please bear with me, this is a little bit complicated. Two days ago I applied for an online special....open a free checking account AND a savings and get 4.79% interest on the savings account. I decided to put $50 in checking, and $50 in the savings using my debit card from my existing bank. Once finished with the application, the bank denied me (I suspect for a low credit score...they said they'd mail me a reason later based on the fair credit reporting act)...BUT they charged my account anyway...and double drafted me for each $50 taking a total of 200$ from my account. This caused an overdraft which they pulled from my savings and charged me $10 for that transaction. Needless to say I am livid. SO, I call my bank, they will not stop the charges without me trying to resolve it with the other bank first. So I call them, and they promise to have someone in authority of that department call me back within 24 hr, no call. So I call them, they promise to call back, no call. What to do?

After the allied invasion of Iraq in 2003, Filipino professional and non- professional skilled workers, investors and traders came home with their IQD (not saddam hussein) earnings. If totally consolidated, ready for transaction could sum up to HUNDRED OF BILLIONS IQDs. Holder's stocks are just being kept in their homes, safe houses and bank vaults for safekeeping. The Central Bank of the Phils will grant permit to local banks to transact IQD soon but holders can't wait any longer!

I'm 17 years old and I've been working at this place for a month now, and I've given thought into putting in a 2 weeks notice but I have way too much to do before school gets here. I am scheduled tomorrow and Sunday. Is this letter okay to give to them tomorrow? I don't need them as a future reference, that's why I don't mind quitting without the 2 weeks.


Attention: Manager

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to work with you and ____. I apologize for the short notice. Unfortunately, the demands of preparing for school prevent me from continuing to maintain my current work schedule.

Regretfully, therefore, I must hereby offer a notice of my resignation. My last day with ___will be August 7th, 2007.

It has been a pleasure to work with you and your team at ___. Thanks again.

Thanks,
_____
