Practical joke help - letter from council

[Pestilence]

Take a picture of the council letter next to a beer can in the street and send them a littering fine worded the exact same as they sent your roommate. It has their details on it so it must have been them that littered right?

Also I can't see this getting far in court, but then again IANAL (Heh could you imagine if I was. Madness! I can't even spell lawyer. Wait holy crap!)

This. By council letter, I mean a copy of the one you sent to them, so the recipient address is the council offices.

Attach it and say that you found this letter looking suspicious with a beer can in an alleyway, and can only assume that a member of the council, since it is addressed to them, purposely discarded it there. You would thus like payment for your services in keeping the neighbourhood tidy. Should they fail to pay within 14 days you will have no option but to pursue the matter further via civil court, which may incur vastly increased costs on their behalf.

Plot twist: OP WORKS FOR THE COUNCIL.

Troll the council guy. Put his name on a fake letter, print thousands of them and scatter them all over the city.

Love it. Definitely the way forwards.

Surely your flat mate knows how to deal with this or can get someone at her firm to help? Also, as it's a letter from the doctor wouldn't she want to keep hold of that?

Send this jobsworth a request for the letter in question back stating you don't know how it got there but if they continue to withhold the letter you'll consider it theft.

The guys surname is a bit of coincidence too considering her work experience and all that.

 

[Mr-White]

Complain to the council that their bin men aren't doing their job properly by not disposing of your waste. Invoice for the cost of the fine plus a huge admin fee for writing them the letter.
