What online tutorials or books are best for learning literacy only in Spanish?

I am applying to a credit card disputes department at my workplace in October because they have need for the Spanish-literate. I'll be dealing with written statements from Spanish speaking customers primarily.

However, my language skills are so rusty I'll definitely need to do some brushing up beforehand. What books or online tutorials are best for achieving literacy only in Spanish? Free is better, but I'm willing to pay if the lessons are quality. Thanks all!

Well, since no one else has posted...

I would just pick up a few books and a dictionary and start slogging through them, every day...something with modern vocab probably best, maybe Grisham or something? And newspapers, plenty of those online. I find reading comes quite easily, with the help of a dictionary.

If you will have to write responses in Spanish, that's a whole different problem...you will probably need to practice writing, review verb tenses and such, and definitely need to get someone to review and correct your grammar.
