Dear Queen, How are you doing? I was planning on going to the Judda Jungle but it so happens I am short a few thousand. I promised a few people that I would take them with me. The reason why I am short a few thousand is because I spent it all on a bet that I made which was if I go there and back I would get 1 million dollers. If I make it, I will pay you back double. I would need $100,000 by friday Thank you.

very convenient if you could send it ASAP. I might write all about my adveture, and I might also write
a book about it. If I do write a book about it, it will be my first book.


P.S- I will give double the money in return to your great favor.

Dear Queen,

I am going on an expedition across the sea, and it appears that I am a little short on money. I was wondering if you could fund me on this expedition into the unknown. I will need a ship, a crew, farming tools, ammunition, livestock, wood, plant seeds, goods to trade with the locals, and a aditional sum of 10,500$. If all goes well, I will give you everything back, and pay you double the money. I hope you accept my offer.

Best wishes,
Tessa Pardon
