Dear Mrs. Norman:
Yes, I have heard back from the consignment company, but they are complaining that they don't have the necessary information.
In addition to some other trifles, they are asking for a copy of the deposit certificate, as well as the consignment code number. Can I expect these from you soon? As well, I would like you to attach a picture of yourself so that I have an idea of just who I am doing business with.
The only other problem is how we shall split the proceeds of our transaction. Again, I will require 40 percent. This leaves you and your family with $7.2 million - more than enough for you to live the rest of your life in whatever ridiculous opulence you deem necessary.
Rgds,
Saruman White
