Dear Sir or Madam:
That is a most vulgar display to which the polite society I come from, is quite unaccustomed. Perhaps that is acceptable decorum in your local opium den but I cannot permit you to carry on here as is perhaps your custom in the Orient. In closing, I would like to thank you, in advance, for ceasing and desisting all such activity.
Respectfully yours,
E. Reginald Zilker |

No. No, I refuse. I just- |

To whom it may concern:
By my reckoning, I shall have spent close to one hour considering replies to only vulgar, obscene displays. If my objurgation shall not suffice to bring your better manners to mind then I am afraid I shall have to come to rather stark conclusions that concern your character. I had initially presumed that this was not some nursery for pickaninnies where numerous infidelities to elevated social discourse, of which I am accustomed, would normally be allowed.
In closing, I would also make you aware that I have interest in neither the blandness of English cuisine nor the keeping of company with midgets of ill repute.
Sincerely,
E. Reginald Zilker |

I can take a little kindly jest. What man can't? It's when people start insinuating effeminacy for their own jollification that I become weary of being mistaken for those dandy boys down in Cheesman. That riles my dander and I suggest you both stop, post-haste! |

Are you weary from the constant accusation, or are you wary of being accused? I just can't tell! |

Dear sir,
Let me apologize, at once, concerning the flagrant usage errors occurring out of my office. I would also like to thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. While she is a kind spirit who will be fondly remembered, I'm afraid Donna's services will no longer be required.
As you know, this office prides itself on the perspicuity of our communiques. Unfortunately, after reviewing a number of memorandums and other documents, transcribed by Donna, we have uncovered a great deal of such errors. While Donna insisted that they were only typos, I have also found, hidden in her desk, a bottle of Miles Nirvene that I feel may have impaired her facility with the typewriter machine.
In closing, I would request another qualified woman from the Steno pool. As this office deals with the public, frequently, she should be attractive. She should also have no less than five years of stenography experience and be able to type no less than fifty words per minute. Her first assignment will be to write Donna a formal letter of recommendation as I share some of the responsibility owing to my lax oversight.
Sincerely,
E. Reginald Zilker |
