A businessman meets a beautiful girl and agrees to spend the night with her for 500. Before he leaves, he tells her that he does not have any cash with him, but that he will have his secretary write a cheque and post it to her, calling the payment "Rent for Apartment".
On the way to the office, he regrets what he has done, realising that the whole thing was not worth the price. So he has his secretary send a cheque for 250, together with the following note:
Dear Madam: Enclosed you will find a cheque in the amount of 250 for the rent of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the apartment, I was under the impression that: 1) It had never been occupied, 2) That there was plenty of heat, and 3) That it was small enough to make me feel cozy and at home. However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there wasn't any heat, and that it was altogether too large.
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the cheque for 250, with the following reply:
Dear Sir: First of all, I cannot understand how you expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please don't blame the landlady.
Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady.
