Dear Sir...

I'd like to begin by voicing my appreciation of your support during my lean years. Lacking a trampoline, I practice my bouncing on my overdraft, it's useful exercise and ultimately gives the girls in your letter sweatshop something to do. After all, printing off standard snotty letters to me, must be the highlight of their day. Many thanks for the credit card, for every time I pay it off and it spends a month lonely and pining in my drawer, it comes out and plays with me at least 20 times. Thanks to it's company, I can pay my fees for another 2 years of study. Although my credit limit is indeed scary and more than the cost of a brand new car, I treat it with the same respect as an over-ripe banana.

Today, at work I received training for Miller Harris fragrances. Please sir, I know you are a busy man, but bear with me, the point is this: I would like to beg, borrow or steal a small fortune so that I can purchase for my ownsome these amazing perfumes. Lyn Harris, their creator is the only female classicly trained 'nose' in Britain. She spent 5 years training in Grasse, France, the capital of perfume. Now based in London she creates her fragrances out of moments of pleasure and bottles them for her delighted customers. These are not chavvy perfumes, nor are they mass market dross. They are expensive because they use the best natural and ethically sourced ingredients possible. She lingers months and years over her works of art. And they are works of art; to be appreciated and adored.

I would like to support this family run, small business fight off the mass market, huge corporations that claim to offer quality and offer pong instead.

Waiting in anticipation for your positive response,

Roses
