When you send a letter use Certified Mail Return Receipt. Can't get a refund from a store w/o a receipt, a judge or FBI agent probably won't listen to you either.
Send a CC (Carbin Copy) to a peer, superior, law enforcement agency or other accountable entity.
Keep your mouth shut. I recommend saying only 2 things a."I'm not speaking to you, and b. Do you have a warrent?. (Use discretion).

How do you know they arn't running this chip at 1 volt? Lets see, that would be One Hun...
About 1963 or 1964 the FCC required that all television sets sold in the U.S. be able to receive all UHF as well as VHF channels. There were a few UHF stations already on the air. UHF had a tough time prior the FCC requirment, I remeber some people where down right nasty about the policy much like digital television today. All in all I think think turned out for the best.
This is so true, I also don't use direct deposit for the same reason. About six months ago the bank bounced 7 of my checks after I made a transfer from my savings. They didn't seem to be willing to resolve the issue but after a couple of weeks they realized I wasn't making my regular deposits. They refunded all my overdraft charges and sent a letter of apology. As an added bonus, a month after the letter of apology I also received a letter of blame.
Make it a businness contract.

I think I have heard most of these horror stories but they can be prevented. Here are the rules I use to terminate ANY BUSINESS AGREEMENT: 1. Do it in writing! 2. Give them a 30 day notice 3. Require that they respond in 10 business days. 4. Require that they send the last bill by mail AND forbid them from billing ANY account of yours. 5. Send the letter via USPS Certified mail with return receipt (about $4) and make the tracking number a part of the letter. 6. Keep a copy of your letter for yourself and include copies in any future correspondents on the same subject. This one is alway fun with bill collectors, who get theirs Certified Mail too. 7. When you do send the last payment write on the front of the check "Final payment. Services no longer needed" Cashing such a check is considered a business contract.
1. Identify the problem(s).
2. Collect data to support your claims, use forms, i.e. number of unitialized variables in code X on date mmddyy, etc.
3. Write your report, preferably in the form of charts. Don't forget to keep copies for yourself.
4. Submit your reports to management, 2 separate managers to create accountability.
5. for(;;)
congratulations, you are now the first member of the quality assurance team.

As a person in quality assurance were I work I am not going to preach to you. There always seems to be enough of that going around on most sites regardless of the topic. IMHO
What I am going to tell you is that your bosses job is quality, if he doesn't want to pursue that course there probably isn't much you can do about it.
However , I am going to give you some place to look for help. This is a web site of the W. Edwards Deming Institute. Dr. Deming is considered the father of modern day quality assurance and the Deming web site is probably the best place to start looking or answers to your predicament.

PayPal makes a fine s fine spume about "FDIC
Pass-Through Insurance". Just a fancy way of saying they don't have
insurance and probably can't get it.

Your close, the correct sequence of events is:
