Dear Mr. Smith,

     As the sole registered copyright owner of the letter "e" since last Tuesday
I must
warn you to cease and desist with your blatant and public usurpation of my long
held
rights in this valuable intellectual property. Additionally, I'll expect your
cheque for $0.90
to be arriving soonest. I'll note that I collect in Canadian funds so this is
really $0.60 to you
representing a considerable savings. Just part of the great deals and customer
service
I provide. Should you require further "e"'s --- either upper or lowercase, we
have them in
a variety of fonts and models that suit both the Digifant and Digijet ECU's. All
"e"'s are shipped
via IPS (Imaginary Parcel Service) and are carefully wrapped in newspaper
painstakingly  recycled
from the shipments  I receive from a nameless list vendor.

Yours truly,
G. Douglas Alcock
