Dear Annie,
It was very nice to see you the other day, even though we hardly had a chance to talk to each other properly.
I’m very sorry to have wasted your time trying to sell you a washing machine. I should have realized that fanatical greens like to keep their clothes black (my little joke!). Of course, if you’ve changed your mind about the machine, you know where to get hold of me.
Anyway, that isn’t the reason why I’m writing. Although. If you were interested in a machine, I’d be happy to demonstrate 2 one to you. The reason why I’m writing is a different one.
I wanted to apologize for upsetting you by talking about my old friend and your old, or to put it another way, former father Hugo. I really shouldn’t have mentioned him after all. He was your only father, if you see what I mean.
Anyway, the reason why I’m writing to you, as well of course, as offering 3 you another chance to buy a Laundroperk machine, is to tell you about a rather interesting customer I picked up at Washdo International Airport the other day. I drive a cab 4 now, you see, which is why I collected, as I said, this person at the airport.
Well, this person I collected at the airport looked exactly like Hugo, except for the beard and mustache. He didn’t have them, that is, but Hugo did, as I’m sure you remember. I asked him if he’d ever heard of him-Hugo, I mean-I asked my passenger, that is, but he said he didn’t. In fact he seemed to be quite offended 5, and he got out of my cab without paying! Just think, there is someone else around who looks just like your poor dead father.
The thing is, the reason why I’m writing to you is to suggest that we get together for a chat about old times your dad, maybe washing machines, and stuff 6 like that. Perhaps we could to a club one evening.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
PS: If you don’t have any use for a washing machine, perhaps a friend of yours has.
PPS: If you don’t like clubs, what about a quiet intimate 8 evening in my apartment?
PPPS: Sorry to go on about it, but if you are interested in the laundroperk machine, could you let me know soon, so that I can get in touch with the company that sells them?
