Dear Mr. Mike,

Your email was forwarded to me.

I sell Kake.

The price of Kake is $1.25 per slice. There are 16 slices per Kake. This is $20 per Kake.

I think you will need 250 Kakes.

The total is $5,000.

There is no tax on Kake.

Please contact me ASAP. We can be ready to ship by the end of the week.

Thank you.

Hello Mr. Mike,

Thank you for your order.

I need to know where the Kake will be shipped to. I understand that your shipping company will be picking it up but I need to know what kind of special arrangements need to be made.

For example, if the Kake will be going to Ireland, we will have the Kake wrapped in green doilies soaked in vinegar and beer.

If it were going to China, we will wrap the Kake in rice paper soaked in vinegar and sake.

We take much pride in the presentation of our Kake. Where is this order going?

Also, there are no additional charges beyond the $5,000 so please add $130 to it. This brings the total to $5,465.00.

We accept ALL major credit card except one.

Please hurry with the payment information.

Thank you.

Dearest Mr. Reverend Mike,

I'm afraid I cannot comply with your wishes to ship the Kake to Mr. George Mark.

I know this may sound strange but I had a dream last night. In my dream a Mr. George Mark (the very same name!!) was standing in line at a boat factory, waiting to receive his team's toothbrush. A large koala bear asked him if he had change for a bee-hive. When Mr. Mark opened his mouth to answer, the bear began shouting "This isn't my pretzel!" over and over again and then strapped on ice skates. Mr. Mark then began to wax my car.

Naturally I woke up, shaking and sweating. I was stunned as, no doubt, you are now.

Please give me another name to address this shipment to. I'm sure you'll understand.

Thank you.
