Dear Sirs,
you must have mistaken me for some one else. I am 74 years old and I have never been any farther than San Antonio, and that was when i was a youth.
I'm not sure where Nigeria is, is it somewhere close to Finland, I had a cousin that lived there once, but she died in 1968.If my husband Robert was still
alive he would know of such things, such a savy man he was, made millions in the stock market and left me well provided for.
Have you ever met Charles Shwab?, such a charming man he is, I still get a christmas card from him and he usually phones me on mothers day to see how I am doing.
Do you have children? I do hope so children are so nice to have around, alas my only daughter got married and moved to Ireland and I never get to see her anymore, or the 6 grandchildren. NOt that I couldn't but I am scared of airplanes, I went up in one at the Haris county fair back in 1948 and I was scared stiff.
Have you ever been in an airplane?
Well it has been nice talking to you, but it is time for me to take puddles(my pet ocelot) out for her daily walk. please feel free to write again, it was nice hearing from you.
regards,
Karen Simpathi

That's good. I'd go with that. You can write ALL SORTS of complete nonsense and they'll have to grin and bear it 'cos they see cash at the other end. Kinda wished I'd thought of it
