Dear Sirs, I am writing to your office to attempt to determine why I have encouraged so many obstacles to receiving my proper monthly social allotment. (1) The trouble occurred ten months ago and has actually gotten worse, making extremely difficult for me to meet normal financial obligations. (2) The first problem which I had to deal was simply getting a monthly check from you, without having to wait for four or five extra weeks for it. Then two of the checks that have arrived (3) made out for the wrong amount, giving me fifty dollars fewer than I should have received. (4) Another check was mailed to me at an address, which I moved more than two years ago. (5) My letter of inquiry, which I sent to the Los Angeles Office of the Social Security administration, never brought the answer, and when I finally telephoned them I was able to talk with an arrogant clerk (6) from the tone of his voice I could tell that he didn't want to be bothered with me. The final blow is a letter received from your office yesterady in which you state that (7) my allotment is being discontinued, your records indicated that I am legally dead. Apart from this letter of protest I have at least one other recourse: (8) filing suit against the Social Security Administration, that I would prefer not to have to do. (9) Howevers I am asking you to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that (10) from now on I receive my social security benefits with further obstacles. This letter also testifies that I'm indeed not dead, legally or otherwise. Sincerely yours, Thelma Spencer
