Dear Sharon,

Thank you so much for writing back to me and for returning my tooth to me!! I was starting to get a little worried about the safety of my tooth but you came through for me. You're the best Sharon! Do the people at Tom's of Maine know what a good job you do? I think I'm going to write them and let them know how reliable you are and how pleasant you are to deal with. Do you date often?

Also thank you very much for the Tom's of Maine mouthwash, brochure, and catalog. I have a question about one of the items in your catalog. I'm interested in purchasing the "Hemp Frisbee" for my friend Noogie but I just know he's going to complain about wanting rolling papers or a pipe or something to go with the Frisbee. Does the Frisbee come with either of these things? I didn't see them listed in the catalog.

I've also enclosed the Saran Wrap that you so nicely wrapped my tooth in. I know Tom's of Maine is dedicated to the environment so I figured instead of throwing it away I would return it so you could use it to wrap other people's teeth in or maybe a tuna sandwich. We need to care about our environment. It's the only one we have!

You're one of the good ones Sharon. I bet someone like you has a steady boyfriend, huh? I bet you bake cookies for him sometimes just 'cause it's a nice thing to do. What a sweetie you are! Do you like to spoon? If I'm ever in the Kennebunk area would you be interested in getting a coffee or something. No pressure - just hanging out with Rudy. Oh my... I can't believe I just asked you out. I'm terribly embarrassed... but I guess I'm just a little smitten by you, that's all. Can you blame me? Anyway, please write me back and let me know about the Frisbee and if you're "available". Thanks.

Love,

Rudy Schumann
