If you want to be taken seriously, you have to sound professional in a
letter. Replacing the words too/to with the letter 2 is NOT acceptable
in a business letter.
Also, your letter is pretty much just one big run on sentence since
most of the punctuation is not there.
My suggestion is that you re-write the letter and then re-post it.
Unless, of course, you don't want a response.

What a poorly written business letter from the excessive use of
exclamation points and caps to substituting 2 for too/to and U for
you. What kind of statement is that banks are supposed to be working
for people not dollars? They are a business, of course they are in it
for the money.

More than likely this is a fee that was disclosed when you opened the
account. It's not their fault you did not read the terms and
conditions of your account.

You're coming into a large inheritance and you're griping about $15?

You don't give enough detail here as to WHY you were charged the fee
to begin with.

And the bit about your starving children - overdramatize much?

Have you checked your agreement with them (from when you signed up
for the account)? Chances are it's right there under the fees
section. If this is something new they've recently instituted without
notice you have a point, but writing to them in this manner is not
going to get anything done for you. Excessive "!!!!!!", lack of
structure, using "u", constant poor spelling, and rambling about
"taking it with you" have no place in a serious business letter.

Oh, and banks ARE in business to make a profit, not simply to "work
for people not for $."

Washington Mutual is not stealing from you - - they are apparently
charging you a fee that was disclosed in the account agreement you
signed and/or agreed to when you opened the account. It doesn't
matter what anyone verbally told you - - it is the terms and
conditions of the account that apply.

And, as the previous poster stated, you need to calm down and write a
proper business letter without all the emotion if you want to be taken
seriously. Feeding children, taking things to heaven, etc. have
nothing to do with your complaint. Somewhere in this letter you may
have a valid point and Wamu may grant you a one-time waiver of fees
but I have the feeling it will depend on your attitude and not the
threats you are making. Simply state that you weren't aware of the
fee and would sincerely appreciate having it waived this one time.

This letter is the perfect example as to why it is important to calm
down, thoroughly think about what you wish to say, then compose your
letter.

I suggest you re-write this letter when you've had time to consider
exactly what it is you wish to say. Obviously, you'd like your $15
back but that request gets lost in all the poor grammar, CAPS, using 2
for the word "to", etc.

I'm quite sure someone from WAMU would like to help you but I'm not
sure they'd know how to help you with the jumbled information you've
given them in this letter.

Good luck.
