Dear Peter,
Do you remember Pogs? I have a rather large collection of the collectable discs that has, until recently, been under my bed. I would now like to get them out from under my bed and so, I am contacting you. Fret not Peter, I don’t want you to buy them (though you can if you wish – for you I will waive P&P). What I would like is a quote from you to push the sales of the Pogs. I intend to run classified ads limited to 50 words so if you could keep it brief that would be appreciated.
Yours,
—

This is the funniest blog I have found so far. Love it!
How very kind of you to say so. I will pass your comments onto my friend, George, who is a fan of such positive feedback.
