Markus and Heather Schulz have cancelled
your Nextel phones and reported them stolen"

them in your name, but, I'm sorry ,
it will take 10 days to reactivate"

I thought you said this was a corporate card
account. Why would Ms Schulz be shopping on
your corporate card?
We show a $9,000 credit from your address
on that account "
