One Of Those Offers You Can't Refuse
FROM THE DESK OF DR. SHELLEY KEATS
DIRECTOR, POETRY IMPLEMENTATION
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF METAPHOR AND
PATHETIC FALLACY, DAKAR, PARNASSUS
PHONE: 00221 523 4715
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL!
DEAR FRIEND,
Based on the information gathered from the Ministry of Metaphor and Pathetic
Fallacy, we intend to solicit your assistance on this transaction with you
on the assumption that you will not disappoint us.
We have Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Poems (US
street value $25,500,000) which we have collected over time from
over-inflated anthologies in my war-torn country's Pantheon of Immortal
Poets.
We are seeking your assistance and permission to remit these poetries into
your account or any other nominated account you can provide for us. Your
commission will be 20% of the total syllabic count, 10% for allusive
gratuities, and the remaining 70% is for my colleagues, myself, and of
course the Muse.
Could you please notify me by coded villanelle of your acceptance to carry
out this transaction? Kindly and urgently, acknowledge the receipt of this
poetry by sending to me by email a copy of this letter with your private
ISBN and Library of Congress numbers. I shall in turn inform you of the
modalities for a formal application to secure the necessary approvals for
the immediate release of these poetries into your account.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Shelley Keats
