Dear Matthew Logan,

I am writing to inform you that your grace period of 15 years, as previously agreed upon by both parties, is coming to a close. On September 30, 2016 your fee of the energy from one human soul, hereafter known as your immortal soul, will be due. On or before this date, your immortal soul will be ripped from your body and transferred to the underworld for eternal storage. Please make whatever arrangements you feel are appropriate and schedule a visit with one of our many repossesion agents at your earliest convenience.

Appointments for immortal soul collection do fill up fast during this time of year, due to the many contracts signed during the early autumn months. In order to ensure a convenient time to surrender your immortal soul, we do recommend that you make an appointment as soon as possible. The process is fast and we try our best to make it as painless as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your case-demon directly at: ralachi.collections@hellnet.org

How on Earth did you get this email? I did not and never have signed any kind of contract for my immortal soul. If this is some kind of joke, it’s not funny.

Dear Mr. Logan,

Our records clearly indicate that you signed a contract with one of our agents. The terms and conditions were explained to you at the time and are clearly stated on the written contract. If you’d like, I can attach a copy of them for you to look at.

Do not contact me again.

On September 2nd my client, Mathew Logan, was contacted by you to collect a debt which he does not believe he owes. My client has prayed for intercession and we have answered his prayer.

We have done a thorough and detailed search of our records and find that Mathew Logan’s soul still belongs to his person and as such is not eligible for collection by either of our agents until such time as he expires naturally and his soul can be weighed.

Please be aware that this man is considered to be a Good Man and is under the protection of Heaven and the Lesser Angels at this time. You are ordered to immediately cease all communications with my client. Do not contact Mathew Logan again. If you have any questions or concerns they should go through me.

Sincerely,

Our records clearly show that on or about September 30, 1996, Matthew Logan knowingly and with full disclosure did sign a contract with one of our agents. The contract details are confidential and we cannot disclose them to you without his permission, but they

We wish to resolve this situation soon as delaying the collection of our souls does send the wrong message to our clients. A repossession agent will be dispatched to Mr. Logan’s location on September 30 to take possession of his soul if it is not stored with us before then.

I have attached a scan of the original contract for your perusal. I’m sure that you’ll find everything in order and I hope that you’ll update your records to allow us to do our job and collect Mr. Logan’s soul this month as is our right.

Please convey to him our desire to have this taken care of as swiftly and painlessly as possible. I’m sure that you don’t want to see his soul damaged by a hasty collection any more than we do.

I’ve taken a look at your infernal contract and have compared it to our records. While I’m certain that some Matthew Logan sold you his soul, it was not the Mathew Logan you are trying to contact. This Mathew Logan will remain under the protection of the Heavenly Host until the time of his death or until he takes action to dissolve our protection.

You cannot collect this man’s soul yet. Any attempt to do so, this month or any month in the future without an actual written agreement between the two of you will result in damage to your collections agents. This matter is closed as far as we’re concerned.

Sincerely,

Look angel, this man’s soul belongs to us. I don’t know how else to spell it out. We have a signed agreement with him. His soul is due. Our agents will collect it on September 30th and any interference will be met with force. It’s best for all parties if you and your overbearing heavenly “agents” stand down. We don’t want to get into any unscheduled holy wars on Earth.

Dude, you unholy spawn. You have the wrong guy. Take a look at your own contract again. You’re looking for a Matthew Logan but you’re contacting a Mathew Logan. Only one T. There’s no need to threaten any kind of violence. This Mathew Logan is under our protection. Go find the Matthew Logan you actually signed a contract with. Our agents won’t interfere with his collection AS LONG AS YOU ARE COLLECTING A SOUL FROM THE RIGHT MAN.

Oh man, this is the eleventh time one of my clients has failed to keep their email up to date with our department. Please communicate my regrets to Mathew Logan. We will not be collecting his soul this month.

But Matthew Logan’s contract is still coming due. If you have a current email for him or any information that would let us contact him, it would speed up the process of collecting his soul.

I’m glad to hear that the matter with Mathew Logan is closed. Matthew Logan, on the other hand, is your problem. I’m not obligated to help you collect on a soul that your blighted department lost.

Have a great day in Hell,

Hey, we’ve helped your department out multiple times when we have information that you need. We will collect Matthew Logan’s soul at some point, but knowing his whereabouts makes it far easier on everyone involved. I’m not asking for tracking information on the guy or anything. Just an email.

Hey angel, bringing my parentage into this is really not cool. Aren’t you supposed to be the good guys? If I can’t bring this case to a conclusion I’m going to lose my position here. Help me out?

    That was hilarious! Bravo!

  3. […] For this month, the last month of the year, we tasked the Confabulators to write letters. Tis the season, after all! The only requirement for this month’s prompt was that the story had to be told in epistolary format (the entirety of the story told in correspondence back and forth). We hope you’ll enjoy this slightly different format (although we have had a brave Confabulator do it once before!). […]
