Miss Lendeby is tentative...

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your most charming letter.

Does this mean that you feel that I can help you?

Are you telling me that the transaction is a safe as a rock, as solid as houses? That it is fool clad and iron proof? I certainly hope so.

You are married? What a shame. Do you have a brother?

My account details are as follows: the bank is the Dingley Dell branch of the Dementia Bank, account number 4334-0005, BSB 063-778.

I will need to scan my passport to send it to you. I will get the Colonel to help me do that and send it to you tomorrow.

My fax number is 9336 5878. I understand that you will need to add 613 to the front of it. But I must tell you that I am getting very deaf and had my telephone disconnected early last year as I could never hear anything on the wretched thing any way.

Yours sincerely,

Nora Lendeby (Miss).
