Blogmocracy in Action
Guest post by: Huckfunn!
In this internet age of emails, instant messages, text messages, twitters and tweets, the thank you note has become almost extinct as a written expression of gratitude. Now here is a lady who has not forgotten her good manners and still knows how to write a thank you. Myrtle is a 93 year old widow living in a nursing home in Oklahoma. She owns a small mineral interest (no surface) in a tract of land in Texas. A *landman, wishing to lease that mineral interest, sent her an oil and gas lease along with a check in the amount of $92.00 for her share of the minerals. As one would expect from a polite elderly lady, Myrtle promptly sent the following thank you note expressing her gratitude for the $92.00 check. And just to show you that I’m a man of good manners, I want to thank you in advance for your participation in this open thread.
* A landman is a professional who acquires oil and gas leases for an oil company that wants to drill an oil and gas well.
