dead letter office #2
another in the series of letters and documents i have found on my company's file server. i doubt anything else i post will be as emotionally charged as the first one but they should be entertaining. again, all original grammar and punctuation has been left intact, and all non-celebrity names have been changed:

Dear Mr. Travolta
My name is Miguel and I am a huge fan of yours ever since Welcome Back Kotter. I think you are a very talented actor and ive seen every movie you have done and they are all great !!
Mr. Travolta, I was wondering if I could have you sign my DVD cover from your latest release, BASIC.. I thought that movie was so good. I loved the ending but I immediately had to watch it again because just like Pulp Fiction it left me Stuck!! I love it when a movie is not predictable..
I understand that you are a very busy man so if you cannot sign it I will totally understand but PLEASE, could you send back my cover so I don’t have the movie without it.
Mr. Travolta, I really hope to hear from you soon and I hope that you and your family are in the best of health..
Thanks in advance,
Miguel Concepcion

the funniest part of this letter, which i should have expounded on previously (thanks for the tip, Dan), is the home phone number at the bottom, as if John Travolta might call him to discuss film or Welcome Back Kotter or something. wonderfully, delusionally innocent.

If I were John Travolta, I'd call him, the guy sounds like a perfect candidate for the church of Scientology.
