Dearest Katie,
I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen
in love with you since Tuesday, the 17th of August
2001.
With reference to the meeting held between us on
the 17th of August 2001 at 1500 hours, I would
like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our
love affair would be on probation for a period of
no less than three months and depending on
compatibility, would be made permanent.
Of course, upon completion of probation, there
will be continuous relationship training and
relationship appraisal schemes leading up to
promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses
incurred for coffee and entertainment would
initially be shared equally between us. Later,
based on your performance, I might take up a
larger share of the expenses.
However, I am broad-minded enough, to be taken
care of, on your expense account. I request you to
kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this
letter, failing which, this offer would be
cancelled without further notice and I shall be
considering someone else. I would be happy, if you
could forward this letter to your sister, if you
do not wish to take up this offer.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,
Matt
REPLY TO THE MODERN LOVE LETTER:
Dear Matt,
Please refer to your letter dated today. I am
pleased to inform you that I hope to accept your
proposal for romance.
However, you should be informed that there are
certain conditions of acceptance. Promotional
prospects are to my satisfaction. However, please
enlighten me as to your retirement benefits.
Gratuity should be generous.
I also need to be assured that there is sufficient
security with regard to this commitment. If there
is any chance at all of retrenchment or consequent
disinterest on your part, then I should receive
monetary compensation according to union
standards.
Due to the nature of my position, I am sure you
will agree that an expense account should be
arranged for my access in light of the VIP I shall
be entertaining. In addition, housing and
transport allowances should be in order and
nothing less than a Jaguar is in order.
Please also note that there should be no
moonlighting restrictions placed on myself. If you
are still interested in the relationship, please
reply on an urgent basis as other prospective
lovers have sent letters of interest.
Please also note that my sister is happily
employed.
Yours perhaps,
Katie
