Re: [Leica] Postage Assistance.

EVEN MORE CONFIDENTIAL

My dear Alastair

Your letter of distress came at a rather bad time. The world economy is 
tottering and this has affected trade, communication, politics, purchasing 
power, marital bliss and leica acquisition especially by this nefarious LUG 
bunch on the Internet who are bent on sarcasm, criticism, flaming, and 
bellyaching. With so many major problems at hand, it will take a while for 
recovery to take place and we will see what we can do to supply you with 
the necessary solution to rectify your most pressing problem.

For the time being, I am told that a nightly administration of 
preparation-H can alleviate the angst, the frustration, the agony, the 
pressure, and even the most unbelievable of all human torment that this 
matter has caused you. I would say that sitting on the matter for so long 
is not the best of all solutions. But what alternatives do we have?

In the background of the seriousness of this matter, I am able to offer you 
a solution that will result in instant reflief. Now are you listening?? The 
postal commissar who is a personal friend of mine, no doubt well placed, 
highly respected and well endowed, is able to offer his help to alleviate 
your problem. His advise is to recruit a number of letter writers who are 
well versed in the art of written communication. They are a dying breed in 
this world of Eeeee(k)-mail (dammit!!). Hidden in the secret wardrobes of 
these letter writers are letter pads, ink pads, Mont Blanc fountain pens 
(now outlawed and possession is definitely punishable by at least 90 years 
of hard labour in theAntarctica or frozen to death whatever is quicker), 
and (bless them!!) envelopes as well. Envelopes galore. These letter 
writers are bound by a secret code which only a sizeable bribe can penetrate.

If you think that it is well worth it, we will require that you remit an 
advance payment of US$7.79 plus 10% GST through Money-Pal. Upon receipt of 
this amount of money, my commissar friend will then activate the relief 
that you have been craving for for so long. I must stress that only prompt 
payment in the green back currency is acceptable.

I must stress that this arrangement is to be kept in utmost secrecy. You 
are not to tell your wife, your children, your boss, your lawyer, your 
banker, your parents and your mother in law about what you are about to do. 
As a precaution, this message vill self-destruct in exactly 30 seconds.
