So I have a Citibank credit card, and I use their All-Electronic feature, meaning I handle all my bills and notifications via email and web. No paper. It's worked great so far.
I recently received this letter through the mail. "This notification is part of the All-Electronic feature you enrolled in to stop receiving your statements in the mail."
Umm....

And yes, I realize it's just a safeguard for people who forget to update their email and such, but still. :)

Drat, you blocked out your account number! How am I supposed to clean out your account?

Also, it's a feature to prevent crooks like me from diverting your account info.

I like the image of the document. Did you photograph it and then photoshop it? Or do you have a scanner there in London? I recently photographed a whiteboard with some company notes and then had fun trying to extract a line drawing representation from the image. I had to use a flash because I didn't have a tripod, so there was a flash reflection in the middle, and the brightness was uneven across the picture ...

Actually, to put a new twist on this, it actually arrived in the mail back home. My parents scanned it and emailed it to me.... so I ended up getting it electronically after all. :)

As for your photo, unless the difference between the middle and the sides is REALLY big, you should be able to use Levels or Curves in Photoshop or the Gimp to increase the contrast.

I know this is getting off topic, but if you just use Curves to adjust the contrast, then you will have a problem with noise and anti-aliasing. That is, the noise in the darker parts of the image will be more significant, and the antialiasing in the lighter part of the image will go to white, possibly eliminating some of the thinner strokes, and vise versa. (I've tried this white-board to line drawing thing myself. ;-P)
