Dear Kwaku,

I have great news. Yesterday on the movie set there was a big happening. The Jamaican fella that I told you about has gotten himself arrested for doing some stupid voodoo animal sacrifice and he won't be coming back to finish his role in the movie. The movie producers and director were very upset since the antics of this stupid fellow have cost them much money and several weeks of film time and now they have to find a man to replace him. I told them that I knew someone who could do it and I showed them your picture. They were very interested and asked me if you had an accent. I told them that you did even though I have never heard your voice because I assumed that you could fake a good accent if needed. Well anyway, these folks are desperate to save their investment and they are willing to hire you as an actor for this movie even though you have no acting experience. They will pay �80 thousand now and �100 thousand when the movie is completed.

You have heard that opportunity knocks only once. What an opportunity too. You and I, movie stars together! The thought of it makes me swoon. The sooner you can get to London the better because we have to get to work. Things are finally going our way, my love.

with sincere affection,
your Penny
