Dear Mr. Green:

I am writing concerning claim #760. The amount that your adjusters have set for the damage caused by Hurricane Harry to my barn is unacceptably low. The amount that your company has offered would not even allow doing the work my self, as the materials alone would cost almost $300 more than your estimate.

I am including the estimate from our independent contractors that I have asked to inspect the damage to my barn, and their estimates vary between $1,500 and $1,750.

I would like your company to take into consideration the estimates I have provided and reevaluate your settlement offer. If you continue to deny the fct tht your offer is unacceptably low, I will need to seek legal consel.

I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Mathew Liverpool

Australia has another kind of animal besides kangaroo, that is wombat. While kangaroo and wombat are physically dissimiliar, they both share the common marsupial feature of having a pouch. The pouch of a wombt is, perhaps strangerly, backward facing.

This is of evolutionary benefit to the wombat's natural behavior though, as wombats use their rodent like front teeth and powerful claws to burrow, and their backwards pouches prevent their offspring from getting covered in dirt. 

Though these stubby creatures may appear cute, they commonly become increasingly aggressive as they reach adulthood. The wombat is, however, still cuddly enough to have its own day, which is celebrated every October 22.
