So, .... Is there a definition of "accredited business" .....
somewhere?

Or does one presume that supplying them with a check would make
you ..... ummmmm .... accredited?

Do you think a note from my mother would suffice?

There is also a whole list of other things that they don't know about
you. I wonder why they don't list them too?
Let's see ... they don't know if you wear pink laced silk panties on a
service call ..... or ummm or ... or ....
Wow!     I can just think of HUNDREDS of things they don't know about
you.  You'd better hurry up and get accredited before they start
listing some of them.
