Hi Keith,

I just got alerted to your post, sorry it has taken so long for me to
get to.

Have you managed to resolve this yet? If not I would be more than
happy to help you get this resolved.

I just need to know your username so I can follow up your history,
ensure everything is canceled and apply any appropriate credits to
make sure that you don't receive any further invoices.

I sincerely apologise for your difficulty in dealing with us. This is
not our usual style, and I will be pointing your experience out to our
senior customer experience people to ensure that any training and/or
process issues are identified and do not happen again in future.

Best regards,
Duncan Blair
Head of Brand and Communications
Orcon
