Dear Eric,

We attempted to charge your service fees to your credit card
on 11-23-2007 14:03 PST. Unfortunately, the service fee charge of
$15.95 could not be processed.

Your payment was not authorized by your issuing bank. Please contact
your credit card service or bank, and confirm the following:

- The credit card is activated and in good standing.
- Adequate credit is available on the account for this transaction.
- The account does not have an Internet or phone order block.
- Non-travel related transactions are allowed on the account.
- They do not request voice authorizations for any Stamps.com
transactions.

Note: If you are using a debit or check card, please remember that
these cards are not credit cards and may be subject to daily and/or
transaction limits. Contact the issuing bank to determine if there
are daily and/or transaction limits or any other restrictions that
may be causing your card to be declined.

To correct your payment information, please login to
the Stamps.com software and follow the on-screen instructions.

For more information, please visit our Online Help at:

http://www.stamps.com/support/genera...hange-payment/

No idea, but I'd just ignore & delete it anyway.
