Dear NSA,

I love technology, but (as you probably know) it is also confusing at times. It creates opportunities for silly errors. Do you know what I mean?

Anyway, I recently deleted a whole bunch of my telephone’s contacts. I think it happened totally by accident while the phone was in my pocket, like pocket dialing. Has that ever happened to you? I probably left the phone on the “synchronize accounts” screen because I’d been messing with that. What’s worse is that my contacts weren’t automatically backing up as I thought they were.

So, I know you’re probably really busy, with . . . well . . . doing whatever it is you do . . . but it’d really, really, really save me a lot of heart ache if you simply sent my old contacts to me.

Thanks, guys!
