Hi Jenny,

Your name was forwarded to me.

Thank you for your interest in our lovely pool cover. And yes, it is still available for sale and is - you probably guessed - in lovely condition.

The asking price for this cover is $1,099.

I'm afraid I don't have a photo of the cover but I did attach a photo of myself.

I am a single and lonely man, living here in the United States, just waiting for the right woman to come along. I don't know if you are married or not, dear Jenny, but I should tell you that I was captivated by the nuance of your email. I would like to hear more from you. Please continue to write.

All Hail Discordia!

Jenny Oh Jenny!,

This name length has always been the bane of my existence. However my father, Archibald Byron Tuckwilla Stargazer P'Tooey Hambone Freebish Tarfeathers Jingle-Heimer-Schmidt (GED), decided when I was born that I would not be strapped with a common name such as his. My mother, Sally Siesta Mumbles Garage-Mate Flat-Iron Hawk Ivaneska Bustier, fought my father for weeks about it. In fact, the name controversy raged for so long, I left the hospital nameless. I'm told the doctors and nurses referred to me as "that ugly kid in Room 222". (As you can see, my parents compromised)

Be that as it may, I am stuck with the moniker applied to me and my bank refuses to clear any checks made out to me without my complete name.

Therefore here is what I suggest: Write very small. Or take the check to your local Kinkos and have them enlarge it.

Please try again.

Thanks,

Alpo
