Cabbages & Kings

"The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings."

Hey, get your hands off my hearth!!!

One of the things we do regularly at work is residential security checks. Specifically, if you are obscenely wealth and spend a substantial amount of time not actually home, we will check your house on a regular basis to make sure no one has broken in. We'll alter the lighting and collect the mail so that there are no obvious signs that the house is unoccupied. Simple stuff, with the occasional dose of amusement. One house in particular, the owner has died and we are keeping an eye on the house until the estate is settled and the house gets sold. The other day when we picked up the latest load of junk mail, a loose, folded piece of paper was included in the bunch. Below is the message on this piece of paper, presented verbatim, syntax and punctuation intact, with the exception of the email address and phone number. I don't want to accidentally seem like I'm promoting this thing.

Wolfs are loves foggy weather. We can clean our weather together

MELIK GUVEN

Wow. This guy's a writer?
He certainly has a thing for your hearth, doesn't he? A wise man once said, "Jou keep using that word. I do not think that word means what jou think it means."
There are so many fascinating factors at play in this little missive. I particularly like the incredible run-on scentence in the middle. And that bit about wolfs and foggy weather? Pure frickin' poetry.
This makes that Nigerian banking scam email look like it was written by a four year-old.
Sadly, all of that effort was wasted because our boy Melik left the note in a dead man's mailbox.
Oh, well. Maybe next sucker.

Now, with your talent you could write a much more persuasive letter, and maybe get some real cash. You would want to target someone with a big 'hearth'... maybe Oprah?
