Dear Margot and Greta:

Thanks so much for the lovely earrings you gave me for Christmas. As you know, I don't own much jewelry, having not gotten any push presents from your father. So these treasures that depict my look alike, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, stuck on a zip line, are real hot picks in my collection. The gift is a true testament to a trait of some kind that you two share.

The quality of the earrings became apparent the moment I laid eyes on them. For instance, given the tiny size of the pieces, it took a true craftsman to kern Boris' eyes so close together (close set eyes being one of the most prominent features that Boris and I share, as you both know, you rascals!). And how clever of the artist to make these earrings dangle, lending added verisimilitude, although there's no way of knowing what that means.

I found the little card below in the gift box, which verified my suspicion that the earrings were not easy on the pocketbook. So I checked my American Express Card Online Account and saw that you charged the first easy payment of $70.32 to me. How nice for us that the fourth and final installment will be in April, which puts us right at my birthday, when you can charge me another thoughtful gift.

I hope you will tell me if my ear hair is as dominant as this model's. Right now it's all that I can look at.  

Love, Connie
