I actually just thought it was funny.

If you read the letter, basically this was a mail-merge that did an
extremely defective database lookup, e.g., it says "On [blank], your lease 
expired or will expire".

Lessons include:  always test your query data, and have tests that catch
obviously nonsensical conditions such as null lease expiration dates.
