Simple words, sweeping effect

I really enjoyed the article on Steven Peisner "The accidental advocate," The Green Sheet, Feb. 26, 2007, issue 07:02:02]. Having been in the industry since 1985, I can relate to many of [his] lessons learned. 'Please and thank you': magic words.

Interchange rates, please

I wrote my first deal today, and I am pumped! What are the latest interchange rates?

Thanks,

Steven,

Congratulations! You're off to a good start. To answer your question, MasterCard Worldwide has recently posted new interchange rates to its Web site. You may review them at www.mastercard.com/us/merchant/how_works/interchange_rates.html.

We reported on and published the rate changes in "MasterCard changes rates, stations may benefit from rate caps" (The Green Sheet, March 12, 2007 issue, 07:03:01).

Retailbusiness.com changes

I'm contacting you relating to your site www.retailbusiness.com. I noticed that under our selection, the wording used isn't accurate. We are brokers not actual processors. Can you or someone else from your company contact me in order to make the appropriate change?
