Well, since April only has 30 days, we know it can't be more than $30.
Further, since you were writing the letter on the 27th, it probably isn't
mor than $26...

Not neccessarily :) The slightly redundant '$' in '$x USD' led me to thinking
that maybe it was there intentionally. At least in tcl, 'x' has a different
meaning from '$x', ie

-=-=-
#!/usr/bin/tclsh

  set x 21
  set $x "\$500"

  puts [set x]  ;# outputs '21'
  puts [set $x] ;# outputs '$500'
-=-=-

Which possibly goes to prove how wonderfully hacky tcl is, instead of anything
useful :)
