An Open Letter to the Furry Mustelid.

Sir,

It has been brought to my attention that, following a recent success in the highly regarded 19^th Photography Competition, the only thing standing between me and the first ever Triple Crown award here at Boadicea’s Chariot is a positive decision regarding the Creative Writing Competition wisely and skillfully set by your good self and closing in the next few days.

A lifetime spent in the business of marketing valuable and useful technology to reluctant corporate personnel has taught me the value of careful and thorough preparation of one’s case.  I offer the following observations merely as background to what will obviously be a difficult and demanding decision which you will be required to make following December 28, 2011.

Remarkably, a brief and hurried survey of my immediate circle of friends and acquaintances has revealed a substantial and hitherto untapped demand for precision writing instruments.

Almost fifty percent of them can both read and write and a large minority of them have some ability in cursive script.  Even several of those who have not, have been persuaded that a decorative and well-made writing instrument may have a place in their home.

The renewed relative strength of the Dollar is always an important consideration, and recent events on the mainland of Europe do not bode well for small businesses in emerging markets there.

The potential of this opportunity can readily be grasped, during what could be a slow period following the traditional gift giving season this new and burgeoning CASH market could move your business to a whole new level.

I urge you to give this careful consideration in the next few weeks.

Thinking always of your best interests, I remain.

Yours truly.
