Dear Sharpie, (Fazersharp)
Perhaps you have heard of me and my nation-wide campaign, in the cause of temperance. Each year for the last fourteen, I have made a tour of Scotland, England and Wales, and have
delivered a series of lectures on the evils of drinking and drugs.
On these tours I have been accompanied by a young friend and assistant,
by the name of Raymond Powell.

Raymond a young man of good family and excellent background, a bit like yourself, but is a pathetic
example of a life ruined by the excessive indulgence in gin, pot and women.

Raymond would appear with me at the lecture and sit on the platform, wheezing
and staring at the audience through bleary, bloodshot eyes, sweating
profusely, picking his nose, passing wind and making obscene gestures, while
I would point him out as an example of what drinking etc. can do to a person.

Last summer, unfortunately, Raymond died. A mutual friend has given me your name
and I wonder if you would care to take Raymond's place on my next tour?

Yours in the Faith,

Rev Harold Knight
