That is fine. I would like you to answer my questions before I give you my personal details. I would also ask that your respondment is more rapid as I fear that you may be in discussionship with other egg holders.

1. Do you have experience in handling golden eggs?
2. Where are you from, out of interestship?
3. How much money will I need to give to you?
4. Can we touch?
Many thankingtons, Ross

Hmmm. Charles, I have concerns over your lack of handling experience. I thought most of those with interest in investments had worked with these eggs – if not the eggs then certainly the geese. Okay, I will send you the money but I have further security questions that have transpirated since the last timelord that of which we spoken. Pleaseth answer them and then and only then will I send you the $4,220.

1.) Which airline should I fly with to meet with you in Dubai? UAE Pink Ring or Sphincter Air?
2.) How can I get the Golden Goose through customs?
3.) May I call you a Big Charlie instead of Charles?

Regards, Ross Torture

Big Charles,

I am in Dubai standing in the middle with the Golden Eggs, goose and cheque but I can’t see you anywhere, Big Charles where are you?!?!?

… And that was the last I heard from Charles Harwood Esq, one hopes that the offer wasn’t genuine, eh? (although to be fair I never quite grasped what that offer was!)

Thanks for listening, Rosko
