FedEx, the credit card company, and the supplier of the package may need it, but if you need to take legal action it would be better the earlier you sent the letter.

You could also bring action against FedEx for thier stupidity, but IMHO your best bet is against the company sending you the product, or your forging neighbour. > to find some kind of prosecuting... at least for "forging" my name, *WHIC*, > by the way, they misspelled (they signed TOROMOTO instead of TORIMOTO. > How stupid. Well, bringing a suit up can be extremely expensive, but you can (slightly) more easily merely report a case a forgery to the police and have a warrent issued. You don't get paid, but you should get your package and a warm smug feeling. The threat of that could be effective, too. Most leases have a clause about criminal activity, too, so you can always have your landlord kick the jerk out. ;) -- \\\\\ Jimmy Brokaw gt6300c@prism.gatech.edu \\\\\\\__o Bringing hedgehogs to the common folk since 1994. __\\\\\\\'/________________________________________________________
