Dear Salatu,
Sorry about the dely in my response. I was away on a hunting trip yesterday. We got
a few elk and a very nice 12 point buck. Do you like to hunt? I have a bunch of
deer meat in my freezer, if you would like some, just let me know and I will send
it to you. It makes great jerky and I hear it's excellent in stews and chowder.
Your kids would love it. I'll send you some, really.
But enough about me.
I noticed that your email address has changed. I hope that you get this message.
Maybe I'll send this to your other address as well, just to make sure. All this
modern technology stuff can get pretty confusing. I'm happy to help you and your
family. I'm glad you you were guided to me by god. Or Alah. I'm sorry that I don't
know the name of the person you worship, all this modern religion stuff can get
pretty confusing.
I didn't know that I would have to go to London so soon,
but I guess that I can. I wanted to get a new camera first and get some travel
books from triple A and all that stuff, but I guess I can go sooner if you need
me to. It sounded like you wanted me there this weekend. Is that true? If so,
just let me know where I need to go to pick up the stuff. Will you be there as
well? I would love to meet you and your family. That reminds me, you never told
me the names of your family members in the photo.
Please let me know what
I need to do next to help.
your friend,
Gleen
I was curious to see if Salatu would notice my subtle name change. Also, I really
wanted to hear the names he came up with for the family photo. The response
came quickly, with my name misspelled, but this time in a different way. I love it.

Dear Glen,
Now that you have chosen London as to where the
consignment should be ailrifted, we are making final plans with the club 2000
agency to have the consignment airlifted tommorow, this means it will be there
on wednesday morning waiting for your pick up.
All is well
and we need to talk to you urgently. My brother in law Ibru will call you as soon
as you confirm your direct telephone number. we also need your full names and a
copy of you passport which will help
in the power of attorney that my family will issue to you which will help you
to act and finalise consignment on our behalf.
Unfortunatly, we will
not be able to come to london now... We shall have
the opportunity to come and meet with you from february next year when we
can be free to travel out of the country.
