Default OT; Doh!

Just sent an email invoice to a client with the following text;

"Invoice attached, bank details bottom left. Prompt transfer appreciated."

Received a reply;

"Many thanks. How would you like to be paid?
I'm happy to make an electronic transfer if that is okay with you.
Please let me have your have your bank details for this."

The worrying thing is, the client is a GP!



A number of my customers, particularly large corporations, won't accept
bank details on the invoice as authority to pay by bank transfer. They
insist upon a separate instruction before their internal audit systems
will allow a payment to be set up for me.
