To: Andrew Wagner, CEO of Owen Wilson College
From: The Sydogg, one-time champion and current defender of the first place clay bowl prize.
Dear Mr. Wagner,
I have not yet received my personalized golden encrusted and engraved invitation to the competition that is being held on the 10th like we talked about the last time we saw each other, instead I received notice of said event by way of a flier that was printed out and circulated via the "notice" door that is the entrance to the crew room that we meet in almost daily, so I have seen it, but am waiting for a special invitation from you, the CEO and fiscal representative of the college, to defend my one of a kind clay bowl that your friend cast for the winner last year (which was me), and I will come to defend my bowl if....my boss Pat will let us stay at his mountain cabin in the bee tree neighborhood, but even if he says no, I'll probably go anyway, camp or something, and hope that bears don't eat me, and my family, which would be bad, I would rather lose the event that day, any day actually, if my family's fate hangs in the balance.
If said invitation is not in the mail, due to the economy, then just let me know, or whatever. It's hard times everywhere, and prices of gold are skyrocketing, but copper is down, go figure?
Your prompt response is appreciated.
The Sydogg
