Dear Hasan
Scarr
|
|
|
Thankyou
for your letter of 26th May.
You are wrong, I didn't know
that Sri Lanka produces tea - I'd always thought it was made at the Co-op or
Sainsburys. On learning this I was of course quite relieved, although I am more
than a little concerned about your use of the word 'fine' to describe your tea.
Qantas Airlines used the word fine when describing their Australian wine, and
if the Sri Lankan idea of what constitutes fine is anything like the Australian
one your tea will be so tannic that it could remove paint at twenty paces!
Perhaps you could send me a sample of your tea so that I might judge for myself
whether or not it is drinkable?
As you suspected, I didn't
realise that Sri Lanka was once Ceylon, so thanks for the history lesson. I
sincerely hope that it is still in the Mediterranean!
I
have always believed in repaying a kindness with a kindness, so in return for
the history lesson I offer you a spelling lesson. Wether is spelt weather,
querie is spelt query (you had it right the first time), oportunity is spelt
opportunity, and Hasan is spelt Hassan.
Looking forward to
receiving the sample of your tea.
Yours
sincerely
T Ravenscroft (Mr) |
