Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for your email and I am glad to be of assistance. After pouring over the details, and with the help of a calculator, I have discovered the root of your problem. You are short by five hundred dollars. If you have another $500 then you will have the amount you need. Ironically, my price for this tech support service is also $500. So unfortunately you’re now down a thousand dollars. I, however, will refund you the $500 for my tech support (which also happens to be the amount you are short). So you now have all the money you need.
