Example output

Hi Hassan, you are right to be upset, and I am sorry - we billed you twice and that should never happen. I take full responsibility. I have already refunded the duplicate charge today and added a one-month credit for the trouble. I am handling your account personally now; reply straight to me and I will respond within the hour.
