Me and Mrs. Jones, Part the Second...

...wherein Mr. U.R. Forwunyne, now born of my boredom and mischief, attempts to come to the aid of a deceitful damsel in distress, via e-mail sent on the morning of Saturday January 23 2004. I had a much more elaborate response drafted, which I've shown to some of you, but I judged it to be too over the top too early; better to have some fun and play the fish. Accordingly, the chosen bait is simple, but shiny and hopefully irresistible to the inveterate fraudster Mrs. Jones - a passing reference to a "nurse", whose watchful eye the intrepid Mr. Forwunyne can escape only briefly at this juncture. I like the little hint of skepticism at the end, too.

Oggetto: RE: Your request for help

Dear Mrs. Jones:

Please send me the information at once. I think I have some ideas

for this business that are bursting to get out but I cannot write much

now because my nurse will only be out of the room for awhile. She will

not like that I write about this business anyway, she says it is

lies. Please write soon.

U.R. Forwunyne
