Mr. Patrick Flower,

Dear Mr. Atu,

Thank you for your kind wishes regarding my progeny.

I am sorry to say that Antarean dollars are not very common in Little Sowerby. I have pounds sterling and some Spanish pesetas I found in an old pair of trousers. Will they do? Perhaps if you tell me the current exchange rate vis a vis the pound and the Antarean dollar I could be of more help?

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Patrick Flower.

Dear Mr. Atu,

Apologies for the slight delay in replying but I find myself in somewhat of a moral dilemma. Excited as I am at the prospect of holding within my hands the blessed Power of Anthony, I am troubled about the bribery aspect.

Should I be involving myself and others in the perpetration of a sin? I think not. But neither should I prevent the reunification of a family and its missing fortune.

I have spoken at length about this matter with my priest, Father O'Rory, and he has suggested a minor alteration to our operational master plan. Why not offer the men a percentage of the eventual proceeds? According to the highest fiscal authorities in the Vatican, the payment then becomes a commission and not a bribe.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Patrick Flower.

Dear friend Patrick,

What is this that you are doing? Did I not advise you, good friend, that in line with our mutual benefit this business must be very very top secret. Who is this priest?

I am sad to be telling you that Security Company fellows have no ears for the big picture. We offer them AT$200k commission and they spit in our very nostrils saying five thousand pounds of sterling now or no operational master plan.

Please send 5,000 sterlings soon. These peoples are becoming very angry and may ask for 10,000 tomorrow.

Your trusted and very good friend,

Kla'atu
