내 잘못이 아닌 것 때문에 (through no fault of my own)

 To Whom It May Concern:

​As your customer, I feel unnecessarily inconvenienced and even short changed by your system, which apparently lacks coordination among your gas stations so that information about uncredited ESSO points differs from station to station. In London, Ontario, on Wednesday, August 27, 2014, a computer glitch left an ESSO gas station unable to accept other ways of payment than cash and unable to credit ESSO points to my account. While giving me a receipt with her hand-written sentence of “He will get his points for this transaction” (please see below for details), the cashier at the London ESSO gas station said that any ESSO gas station would let these uncredited ESSO points be credited to my account.

To the visitors to my English blog:

 As of yesterday, my English blog got, by far, past the landmark of two thousand in the accumulated number of visitors. Given the fact that just 40 days ago the blog was launched and that just less than 3 weeks ago the landmark of one thousand was reached, it’s remarkable. Without your support, this kind of achievement would never materialize.

The Blue House’s Bulletin Board system gave short shrift to me, a Korean Canadian, earlier this past week when I tried to electronically post an article on the board.
