  Homka is your cat and, frankly, if you can forget about Homka so easily, what’s to stop you forgetting about me?

  But I want to see you, too. Not only do I want to warm my hands in the back pocket of your jeans but I get the distinct impression you would like to dip your hands into my back pocket, too.

  Much love, James

  P.S. I improved your photo for you. See attached.

  P.P.S. Somewhere, in Moscow, there is a hungry cat.

  During a routine patrol by my unit sometime ago, I discovered a safe buried in a destroyed building. I inspect the safe and found it contained the sum of $15,000,000

  But can I trust you? You take 40 percent and keep my 50 percent and donate 10 percent to charity organizations so that our good Lord will assist and bless us in future. I believe this is fair enough.

  Your role is to find a safe place where it can be sent to. Can you handle these? We need to build trust. Do not let me down.

  Sorry to be a dummy but I went for a cup of tea and when I got back to the computer I had forgotten what was in the trunk. Are you sending me a mix of money and graphic art or is the graphic art actually money or ancient money?

  Thanks Gaz.

  I was really worried about the ancient graphic art. I’ve got a small apartment and nowhere really to display it. Unless I got rid of the toaster. But, it matters not because I’ve received an email from Airra Shipping.

  Question. Do we need to give Mary a cut of the money too?
