Hi Steve.

Hope the air where you are is somewhat breathable today! Just wanted to circle back around on that report.

Dear Judy,

I hope this finds you without a collapsed power grid. :(

Jim,

What a toxic spill, huh? Bigger than the last three! Anyway, wondering if you’re free for dinner Tuesday?

Trish!

Hope you had a great vacay and that all of that neo-Nazi hoopla didn’t put too much of a damper on things at the waterpark.

Hi there, Tom.

I know the floodwaters are getting higher, and you’re preparing to evacuate, but wondering if you had a chance to look over my résumé?

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing for an update regarding my coffee table delivery, assuming you were able to source wood from somewhere on the planet. Please respond when you have a moment.

Greetings!

Hope you’re keeping cool in these 143 degrees. I’d love to get that meeting on the books before the pavement buckles.

How’s it hanging, Fred? As promised, here’s the twelve-step action plan for defeating the woke mob. (FYI: the hats are back-ordered.)

Hey lady! Just wondering if you were able to “get your tonsils removed” in Chicago as discussed. I know that “getting your tonsils removed” can be a scary undertaking for women these days. Were you able to successfully “get your tonsils removed”? Or do you still want our old Pack-n-Play?

Bob!

How’s the boil water notice goin’ for ya? We still on target for that presentation?

Thanks for reaching out, Carol. Was great to see you at the fundraiser last week. Really unfortunate about all the pigeon pox stuff, but still a successful event. CDC says the rash should stay confined to the tongue, so that’s a bit of good news.

Sherry,

So sorry for the late email, but wondering if Tyler could catch a ride to school in your armored tank tomorrow? No worries if already full.

Greetings from the 12th Ward, Non-Malarial Zone: I am writing to inquire about your recent apartment listing.
