    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // because the connection does not need to be made for every request.  Once the connection is made
    // the app may send many requests..

    // 	{ 
    // 	  "subject": "Past due",
    // 	  "note": "Please pay soon",
    // 	  "send_to_merchant": true,
    // 	}
