We were asked to write an important letter either/ About our character, /To our character or / From our character, during our session last week. I came up with this~
Dear Mrs Braithwaite-Dickus,
This is to inform you that we have a very large sum of money in trust waiting for your husband to collect. Despite numerous letters to his previous residences we have been unable to contact him to discharge our responsibilities in this matter.
We have obtained your name and address through a family member of yours, Grace Reynolds of Colchester.
I would appreciate an early reply to enable us to complete this matter.
Yours faithfully,
We were then asked to examine a series of communications that went to make up an EPISTOLARY story, and to construct a story using our character. I came up with this~
(1) Account to Clarence Hall, stockbroker, from SIMPSON, JONES and SMITH.
To preparing legal documents and a letter on 27th May 2014, to Mrs Braithwaite-Smith of the Highlands, Scotland. £700.00
(2) e-mail from C. Hall to P Stroud.~ Peter, I am sure Dickus has hidden financial assets. We must catch up with him using any means possible. I have put the wheels in motion by hiring a film of lawyers to write to a Grace Reynolds in Colchester asking for Mary's address.
(3) Letter from Grace Reynolds to Mary Braithwaite-Dickus.~
Dear Mary,
Wonderful news, I have had an enquiry from a firm of solicitors trying to trace Maxwell. He has a very large sum of money waiting for him in London. I gave them your Aunt Ermilia's address in the Highlands as you have asked me never to reveal where you are living now. How are the children?
(4) e-mail from Mary Braithwaite-Dickus to Ermilia Austin in the Scottish Highlands ~ Please do not reveal our address to anyone, even if there is a large sum of money involved. Find out more details! We look forward to seeing you soon. Love Mary
(5) Text message from Ermilia Austin to Mary Braithwaite-Dickus.~ Mary, they have been here. Beware, they do not look genuine, George set the dogs on them and they left, but they may come back! I have called the police.
(6) Notebook entry by P.C. J. Edwards, 765.~
I was called to the residence of Mrs E. Austin to investigate two suspicious characters who turned up on her doorstep asking personal questions in a threatening, intimidating manner. The suspects were long gone. I advised the Austin's on security measures and said we would keep an eye open for these men.
(7) Letter from Mary Braithwaite-Dickus to Ermilia Austin~ Dear Ermlia, Please take care, I am glad you called the police. Would you please forward the enclosed letter back to those solicitors, Simpson, Jones and Smith. I hope to get to see you both again soon.
(8) Letter to Simpson, Jones and Smith, solicitors.
Dear Sirs.
I regret to inform you of the sudden death of Maxwell Braithwaite-Dickus. Please forward all future correspondence to the executors of his estate. Hammond, Johnson and Williamson solicitors
(9) e-mail from Clarence Hall to Peter Stroud ~ Peter, I have just had news that Dickus is dead. I think this is rather sudden and I am not sure of the facts. I will make some more enquiries.
I have left this here as an open-ended try at completing the task.
