Dearest Reverend,

I do have space for your son. My areas of expertise are chromatic kazoo, dinglehowling, as well as the Nigeria drumming tradition called "wawango mbatutu" - I am the foremost expert on this form.

My fees reflect my expertise. However, I am sure your son will become a mbutututubatumanazngo expert with regular practice and frequest lessons.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

With warm regards,
Master Kwango Banana

Hello Rev,

I'm really happy to accept your son Steven as a disciple. I think he will enjoy his course with me a lot. If he doesn't though, that's too bad. I'm so happy you also have a Cab bringing him to and from class, because Cab company in New York is very good. They are safe.

Before Steven becomes a disciple though, you should know there is a ritual that we go through. For that I would like his parents there, and perhaps the spirit of his first pet or something like that.

I would also demand that you hire an interpreter because I find your English to be very difficult to understand. I do not generally like people from the UK because they speak in a very strange way. I understand Liverpool people are very difficult to understand and I can't be bothered with any chance of miscommunication.

I am also happy you are doing a missionary course. I will not comment on the different positions other than missionary, or your position with God. I will keep those thoughts to myself.

Because of my qualifications and mastery of my craft (or whatever it is you think I'm teaching) - I have a modest rate of: $475 per hour. For 12 hours though, because I don't want to be bothered with the math, I think I can accept $38,730. I will not charge you tax. I can also imagine giving Steven some ice cream after his lessons, and for that I will not charge more than the grocery store retail (approx $5 a pint).

If you would like to reach me by phone to discuss this (provided you can hire an interpreter for me on the phone) - I am reachable at: 212-331-7812

My address for delivery or your son is:
321 Scammerton Avenue - Apt #F
Brooklyn, NY 12345

Please be in touch to confirm the details.

Kind Regards,

-Professor Dongerow

Rev,

Total will be $38,730 - if you can send that then I will include ice cream no extra charge.

Please let me know if it is too much or if OK.
Payment department sounds very official. I guess you are you used to dealing with very smart people.

Do you have any animals? It is important to make an animal sacrifice in order to learn properly.

Please confirm ASAP.

Regards,

Professor Herbie Hancock

This is not a joke. It is important - having roots in Santeria. The disciple must follow the guru completely otherwise the learning process will be disturbed. Should I explain this on the phone?

Regards,

The Professor
