Dear Mr. Crider,

As you are a wealthy and famous author who knows the joys of privilege and social status, I beseech you to probe the kind province in your heart to vouchsafe for me a modest stipend that I might live my final years with some degree of comfort and security.

A couple of million dollars would carry me through these hard times adequately.

Yours in fervent anticipation,

Cap'n Bob, Veteran & Mendicant
