Dear Edward
I’m not sure how to start this letter. I have just taken delivery of six geese, all of which are laying a lot of eggs. I thought we had agreed that there would be no more bird presents. We simply don’t have room for them, and I have no idea how to feed them all. I’m asking you straight now: please do not send me any more birds.
Love,
Julia
And so on.
This series of thank you letters stops here, but I recommend The Twelve Days of Christmas, by John Julius Norwich, illustrated by Quentin Blake, to see where I nabbed the idea from.
Andrew Wenger and all at SameSky Languages wish you a very happy new year
