Dear Sir:

There is always somebody who thinks that your song is about him or her, because sometimes vanity overcomes sanity. I feel that Miss Julie Andrews's song is about my parents. My mother's father was a tall, strong and very violent man who used to beat his children. Therefore, no wonder that future Mrs Jack escaped from home and married the first possible man who happened to be an aircraftman from the local air force base. However, my father wasn't any prince of the daydreams, and this "Humpty Dumpty" proved to be a short alcoholic who just neglected his family and wasted everything in boozy parties.

So, Mr Jack made women's life bitter, but because he wasn't there facing the consequences, I, as prodigal son's son, had the all pleasure to represent him. Otherwise my life has mostly been only sober and hard work, and without Mrs Blake Edwards I would be only an empty shell who doesn't simply care. I even came from the other side of the world to see her at Samuel Goldwyn Theater on last Thursday. I saw you walking behind her but you probably didn't notice me, although I sat in a same row with Mr & Mrs Blake Edwards during the screening of S.O.B. until they announced that "Elvis has left the building".

I realize that your job is not to manage Julie's social life but only to promote her career. However, you would be the right kind of moderator between me and her. Therefore, would it be possible that I would be quickly introduced to her at some convenient time and place? All I want is to shake her hand, say few words to her personally, and give a small present. I would even be willing to pay for this fleeting moment. Would $1000 be enough, or $2000 then? Julie doesn't probably need me nor my money, and meeting me from her side would simply be the act of charity. I just try to demonstrate how badly I need this short meeting.

Yours sincerely,
