The University's terms of credit are payment within seven days of
receipt of invoice. As from today we will be terminating access to the 
network for users who do not meet this deadline. Reconnection will be 
unlikely.

Yours faithfully

 To be sent such a letter by somebody called J.D.Luff who signs a letter
 yours faithfully and does not even bother to address it to me nor identify
 their gender. Why I for some am personally affronted. It is a matter of
 record in nz.general where I offered my services ( I am a bank manager)
 as a donation to the Auckland University, to help them sort out their
 email billing problems and then in the mail I receive this letter with
 this months email bill.
 
 I am interested to hear how many other sites under the Auckland
 University domain received such a letter. Which brings to mind several
 questions to which I would like some vaild answers from sites under
 the Auckland University domains'.
 
 1/  Did every site receive this letter or is my site singled out?
 2/  Did other sites feel the same as this writer about the approach
     by this J.D.Luff?
 3/  Is this letter indeed cover under the terms and conditions of the
     credit contracts act (does someone have an opinon)?
 4/  Does this J.D.Luff have the authority to demand such payment, does
     someone have an opinon, maybe the Financial Registrar's Office?
 
  Finally will J.D.Luff have the decency to please respond with
  the several points raised above or you may most certainly ring me
  on (09) 358-5589 or revert directly in this news group.
