Your company is possibly paying charges on your company's energy bill that can be challenged. We are writing to advise of a possible action against these charges.

Depending on the state where your company is located, there might be a fee charged on your company's energy bill that is identified by the letters "DAP" (Derechos sobre Alumbrado Publico). This fee is to pay for public lighting. The amount of the fee varies from state to state. However, in each case where it is charged, the fee is a percentage of energy consumption, and can result in very considerable amounts. For example, in the State of Chihuahua, electricity users are charged a fee equal to 5% of their energy consumption.
