Dear Jonathan,
I know you must be terribly busy right now, but your recent media coverage reminded of something very important – you still have my lawn mower!
Let me explain, as I know this may seem odd to you. In the summer of 1996 I lent my lawn-mower to Bernard Cribbins who lived next door at the time. I soon moved away, forgetting the mower, but on contacting Bernie some years later discovered he had given it to Scope as part of a clear out. Further investigation by my friend George (I was tied up with my tax return) led him to discover that Jeff Banks had purchased the lawn mower direct from Scope to give to you as a birthday present. I thought this sounded odd but a brief look at your lawn in recent press pictures confirms the story.
I am happy for you to keep the mower (you seem to be making great use of it!) but would ask you return it to Scope should you buy a new one, or lose your lawn.
Yours,
—
