When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

An encouragement to apply for a 'refund' on a supposedly twice-paid invoice made to Spark. If you don't click on the button to claim the overpayment within 12 days you won't receive the refund.
Be warned:
(a) there is a typo in the very unprofessional beginning - "Hello ,"
(b) Email address DOES NOT RELATE TO THE REAL SPARK.
(c) I am sure the real Spark WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE their customers to do any such thing.
(d) I am sure the real Spark WOULD NOT SET A TIMELINE on pressing any such button so DON'T DO IT!
