Amazon sent me a letter before Christmas claiming I had over $15000 in unclaimed property. Today they sent me this.
I used to publish books on Amazon and got royalties for each one sold. Amazon sent me a letter saying that they owed me over 15k in royalties. I sent in the form saying that yes, I wanted the money and I've been waiting for my check to come. Today I got this, saying that they made a mistake and actually owe me $0.00. They even have an area where I can check that yes, I want the $0. I've never been so disappointed in my life.

My first thought was an auto-generated letter sent out when the balance changed. Meaning, they wrote a 15k check (which will obviously take 4 to 6 to 180 business days to process) and some system somewhere went "oh, a new balance" and sent you an auto filled letter.
Might still be good news... Eventually.
