| Dear Mr
Malden |
|
|
|
|
What
absolutely marvellous news! It was quite obvious when I travelled with you that
Air 2000 is generous- after all your stewardess gave me a Mint Imperial both
ways - but I never thought for one moment that your generosity would extend to
your offering me a free trip to sample your mouth-watering food
again!
You didn't mention in your letter
which airport your aeroplane would be flying to, or is the choice up to me?
If so, Florida would seem to be a popular destination nowadays and would be
most acceptable.
Can I make a request? Is it
possible to have something other than the lasagne I had coming back when I flew
with you to Lanzarote? Not of course that it wasn't anything but exceptional
- I swear I could still taste it two days later - but if I have it again I
might be missing out on another of your culinary delights. For all I know your
chefs may be quite ambitious, and if they can perform such breathtaking feats
with a humble dish like lasagne I shudder to think what they could do to a
magret de canard aux baies de cassis.
I
would prefer to fly on the morning of the 14th of April from Manchester
Airport, so if I don't hear from you before then I will assume that this is
fine with you, and will present myself at your check-in desk at 9 a.m.
precisely.
Yours sincerely
T Ravenscroft
(Mr)
P.S. I think you are missing a great opportunity in not making your meals
available for re-sale. You have far less faith in them than I have, because I
remain convinced that if you were to make them available to the general public
you would make far more money than you will ever make flying aeroplanes.
