15. I'm really starting to think Mr. Annuity Asshole ran off with our $$ or something.

I put in a formal request to him AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE to send us our portion of the inheritance. I asked when and by what method it would be sent. Hey -- I'll take electronic transfer like NOW??? But if you put a check in the mail, I'm happy to camp by the mailbox.

The answer I got was this letter that started out "Of course, it's easy to get the money, there's just one form that [BIL] has to sign. But from your previous emails I see there is a misunderstanding with some of the fees and benefits we were talking about...

AND THEN A 3 PAGE ANNUITY PITCH!!!

ARRRRRRGH!!!!!!

I answered this by saying "I'm glad it is easy to get the money because I want it as soon as possible so please email me when the check is sent, thanks!" Totally ignoring the sales pitch. I also added that I would be camping by the mailbox until it came. *CRICKETS!!** That was Monday afternoon and he did not respond all of today!

Tonight I sent another email entitled "URGENT REQUEST FOR CHECK!" We dont have any urgent need actually but it's none of his business. I had already ASKED when they would send it now I'm TELLING them when. I requested the "easy process" take place tomorrow, that the check be issued and mailed June 20 and if they could email me after is sent thankyouverymuch.

Again, both my BILs have received their entire inheritance! IN MARCH! And we would have received ours too if we had bought this god damned annuity. WHAT A SCAMMER!
