Dear Ms. Greene,

I believe that the International Space Station could also use a warning before you print off another copy of your schedule. They will want to be prepared to explain the bright phenomenon originating from your small town.

Work within the approved budget until sponsorships are signed and agreed to. As those agreements come in, you can increase the budget and adjust the festival schedule accordingly. Your City Council has made too many promises it couldn’t deliver on for the state to budge on this point. We must see the money before you are able to spend it.

Warmest regards,

Subject: April Fools?

Dear Mr. Thomas,

Thank you ever so much for putting in the effort to send me a letter posing as Taylor Swift turning down my invitation to perform at the festival. That was a trap you fell right into. I felt you had stopped listening during our last meeting, so I was testing you to see if you were paying attention. And, I’ll have you know, Taylor and I would be best friends if we ever met, and I think I have a wonderful voice.

Best wishes,

Blaire Greene

Holly Ridge Festival Planner

P.S. Not an April Fool’s joke: please see the report I attached on the origins of the Holly Ridge/Winterberry Glen feud from my research at the Holly Ridge library. My feelings will be greatly hurt if you don’t give me your thoughts when we meet next.

Dear Ms. Greene,

I regret to admit I know this now, after only a few short weeks of knowing you, but you’ve taught me that Taylor does love her cats. Since you sing like one, I suppose I must admit you’re correct that you would be best friends.

Please don’t make me read this report. I’ll have Diet Coke in the fridge for you from now on at our meetings if you don’t.

Warmest Regards,

Cole Thomas
