Dear Sir,
Perhaps you have heard of me and my nationwide campaign in the cause of temperance. Each year for the past fourteen, I have made a tour of Florida and Southern Alabama including Indiana, Iowa and Illinois and have delivered a series of lectures on the evils of drinking. On this tour I have been accompanied by my young friend and assistant, Clyde Lindstrom. Clyde, a young man of good family and excellent back- ground, is a pathetic example of life ruined by excessive indulgence in beer and women.
Clyde would appear with me at lectures and sit on the platform wheezing and staring at the audience through blurry, bloodshot eyes, sweating profusely, and picking his nose, passing gas and making obscene gestures while I would point out as an example of what over- indulgence can do to a person.
This fall, unfortunately, Clyde died. A mutual friend has given me your name, and I wonder if you would be available to take Clyde's place on my 2000 tour?
Yours sincerely and in faith,
Brother Al A.S.A.P. Rescue Mission
