Whoah! Much too complicated. Let me pop open another beer, and I'll shoot off my reply:

Dearest Grace,

I am so happy to receive your letter. I must say one thing: Help! I need somebody, not just anybody, you know I need someone. When I was younger so much younger than today, I never needed anybody's help in any way. But now those days are gone I'm not so self assured, I know that I just need you like I've never done before. This money will sure come in handy. You are an answer to my prayers. Oh darling! And now my life has changed in oh so many ways. My independence seems to vanish in the haze. This money will help me gain my independence back. I want to hold your hand in this business deal. We can't let it be, we must come together, right now, over me. Back when I was in the Army, Sergeant Pepper always told me that I'd be lucky. I sure didn't believe him then, but I do now. Love me, do, I would beg God, but He didn't answer me, till there was you.

All my loving,
Hugh G Rection.

I don't know if I will get a reply at all (no reply!) haha, but if I do, I'm wondering how drunk I should be and what band I should be listening to...

The Stones....excellent! I can't wait to see your bait, heheheh. Yes, by the way, beer is highly recommended in these musical mugu adventures. Wink
