Trilogy Power

Three things in life bug me: tailgaters, the smell of vinegar, and lawyers who do not get back to me.  There is not much I can do about the first two scourges but I have found an effective way to get those ignoring lawyers’ attention, civilly and effectively.  The trilogy.  

Where a lawyer ignores my communications a couple of times, I send a letter that looks like this:

Dear X (not usually the other lawyer’s name, but could be):

I can think of only 3 reasons why you have not responded to me: 

1. I have not responded to you in the past and you are paying me back;
   
2. You have been extremely busy; or
   
3. You discovered that it was I who punched the air out of the tires of your new BMW.
   

This form of letter has never failed to get a response.

You have two examples of the use of trilogies in this blawg.  You can create the third in your next communications.

Have fun.
