One of the Most Important Letters I Ever Received

arrived in my mailbox today:

Dear Susan:

Your application for Service Retirement has been processed and your retirement account has been activated.  Your first check will be in the gross amount of $164.73.  This check represents payment from the date of your retirement through the end of January 2011.  Your regular monthly check will be in the gross amount of $300.40, less authorized deductions.

Retirement checks are mailed on the fourth working day prior to the end of each month.  If you have elected direct deposit, your first check will be mailed to you at the above address.  Subsequent checks will be transferred electronically into your account on the fourth working day prior to the end of each month.

A final calculation of your benefit will be made upon the receipt of final salary information from your employer.  You will be advised to any adjustments to your benefit as a result of the final calculation.

Should you have any questions, please contact us and ask to speak with a Counseling Services representative.

Sincerely,

Production Services Devision

Thank God I am going to get my pension albeit not a huge pension, and I hope to hell Sandoval doesn't pull any shit to destroy this benefit. I had enough shit pulled on me with WCSD cheating me out of my full retirement benefits without politicians doing it.
