Benjamin Button

In between being kidnapped and just not bothering to reply, I received word from the 'lawyer'. He didn't seem to want any of my lovely paintings but wanted to know how much money I have.



ATTENTION DON KEIGH-DICK

 

IN COMPLIANCE OF YOUR MAIL I RECEIVED IN MY NOBLE LAW FIRM I WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT THE REQUESTED AMOUNT IS NOT JUST FOR ME BUT MUST BE PAID IN THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT BEFORE THE CHIEF JUDGE WOULD PROCEED IN MAKING ENDORSEMANT SO THE ONLY HELP I CAN RENDER BECAUSE OF THE POOR CONDITION OF THE YOUNG GIRL IS YOU INFORM ME ON THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE NOW SO I WOULD SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
BAR BENJAMIN

 

 

 

 

I replied, telling him all about my unfortunate kidnapping, this time referring to him as Mr Benjamin Button.

Dear Mr Benjamin Button

I am struggling to raise the money needed for you to get the necessary paperwork. I tried to get it by delivering a package for a gangster fishmonger but this resulted in me being kidnapped and beaten. I am just about recovered now.

I currently have £23.47 to my name. I am trying to sell some of my artwork to raise the cash but I am not being very successful. Can I have more time to get the money? I really want to help my beloved Diana but just need more time to raise the money.

I hope you understand.

Yours sincerely

Don Keigh-Dick
