Dear CIBC

There is no easy way to say this: I’m breaking up with you.

It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 2 years since we have been together but one thing is for certain: I am better off without you.

Our relationship has been completely one sided – I give give give and you take take take. You never really wanted me to succeed; you liked me being mediocre, just scraping by. I think it fed your ego.

You were a different person every time I came to see you. And all we ever did was argue and disagree. You never really listened to me or took care of me. I never felt special with you. I used to think that there was just nothing better out there for me but I was wrong to just settle. For the first time in a long time I have opened my eyes and have seen the light.

I’ve met somone else…RBC. We have such a great relationship. I’ve already been given $150 shopping spree at Future Shop and we’ve just met. I am being offered everything that you had and so much more. The most important thing is that I am treated with respect, listened to, and I leave with a smile after every visit. I never had an experience like that with you.

But please don’t think RBC is the reason I am leaving you. The reason I’m leaving is because you did nothing for me, you didn’t respect me as an individual and I never got anything out of our relationship.

I wish you all the best and hope that one day you can become the bank I know you can. Until then…good luck.

Yours truly, Zoë Siskos

p.s. I will be by later this month to withdraw the rest of my things. Please don’t make this harder than it already is by making a scene.
