Dear Taxpayer,
As you have read in the latest news, our financial institution has undergone some tough times. Some may say that we have brought this upon ourselves with our aggressive, high-risk approach to banking. And it's true that we've needed the intervention of the Federal government to stay solvent.
Like in 1929.
And in 1982.
And in the 90s.
And, well, this week.
Since we are feeling a bit guilty about our repeated inability to police our own actions, and our constant need for taxpayer help, we've decided to give you, a Citibank credit card holder and American taxpayer, a 6-month interest holiday. Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Citibank
(OK, that's what I think they should write. What they actually write is after the jump.)
