One moment. A clerk is confirming your retainer with the bank.
The office has no record of that transaction.
If you have just paid, give my clerks a moment and reload this page. They are slow, but they are cheap. If you have NOT paid, the matter may be rectified below.
The Office is not presently accepting new Clients. The list is under review.
Welcome, Client.
At LAST. Someone with sense. Your payment has been confirmed. My clerks must now attend to a letter for with your Client privileges.
It contains one regrettably necessary inquiry. My staff insisted. I was outvoted by people I pay.

Your patronage has been recorded.
You are one of US now. Your payment has been confirmed. My clerks must now attend to a letter for , on stationery befitting the occasion. There is gold on it. REAL gold, to the extent your screen permits.
You receive every Client privilege. More importantly, the lights stay on because YOU permitted it. I shall write again, privately, when your judgment is required.

A Brief Review of Client Privileges
A regrettably necessary inquiry from the office of Lord Featherbottom
My office has recently been subjected to the rather vulgar suggestion that we determine which client privileges are, in fact, valued by clients.
I initially objected.
An institution of any seriousness should know what people require without constantly asking them. This is why we have committees.
Nevertheless, certain members of staff have become alarmingly interested in “data,” and I have agreed to permit this brief inquiry.
Please answer candidly. Your individual responses will not be attributed to you, unless they are unusually flattering.
Thank you.
I am assured that the results will be presented to me in a tasteful format from which all unnecessary democratic implications have been removed.
Very well.
Your reluctance to be consulted has been noted, and will be interpreted as confidence in the committee.
