Dear Customer Service,

as I stated out I want to stop the whole transaction and close my account
at your organization, because you charged me $ 1.94 without my confirmation.
After this I lost trust in you completely. Thats no serious behaviour.
Please confirm, that you removed all my data.

	Andreas ///
