Dear Marilyn
I would like to learn how to Moonwalk, will one day cover this?
Also -
I'd like to know whether Jermaine might be there, I have all the
5's autographs barring him, so my friends mock me saying I have
the
"
p.s. will there be plastic diamond studded gloves on sale there?
Want to
live up the vibe, sha-mon!

Dear Marilyn
I know you're probably very busy what with organizing catering
and
seating arrangements for MJ's "This Was It" live video rehearsal
prior
to the real deal happening, but I thought it only fair to tell you
I
would like to book 31 seats ( ironically this is Bubbles the
Chimp's
biological age - man, I loved him in the "Just Leave Me Alone
video in
'88...)
Now obviously this is quite a big block booking, can I get
discount? My
entourage and would like to assure you that despite what
"allegedly"
happened at that live John Edward's show - IT WAS NOT STAGED and
he is
the real thing! How John knew my Auntie Edna loved baking apple
crumble
in early autumn just cannot be a fluke...I was so moved...
But I digress...can you send me a quote please?
Regards

HI Allen
My office wasn't sure if your email was for real!?
If you would like to discuss a booking for 31 execs I am only too
happy
to chat or meet with you to discuss a deal. Please let me know.
Over to you mate...
Regards,
Michael Jackson

Hi Michael
I understand the initial trepidation Marilyn may have felt at my
correspondence. I know that angst all too well, one of my many weaknesses is
that I cannot resist a big name in lights, so naturally yours, albeit "the
other one", caused quite a stir within.
Not to regale you with boring stories, but once, whilst on an
exchange
program in the American mid-West, I was taken in by this flyer
that I
found in the corn field I was tilling the fields (the owner of
the
ranch's son liked using his father's crop dusting plane to drop
promo
leaflets for his garage band's gigs etc...they called themselves
The
Children of the Corn, and they were a-maize-ing...)
Anyway, the headliner on the particular flyer that day was none
other
than that never-say-die country crooner, Willie Nelson. Now, I'm
not a
huge aficionado of honky-tonk music myself, but I do admire a guy
that
has endured the industry despite having smoked A grade quality
electric
spinach to the equivalent value of an emerging economy's GDP...
So, off I went with Grady (a deaf mute farm hand, who ironically,
had no
hands - an accident due to being completely deaf and when one
Sunday,when Jeb was lubed up on moonshine whilst trundling the
combine
harvester through the field...)
Anyhow, we arrived at the
and
the sight that greeted us, was well...simply astounding - not a
stage
resplendent with sound gear and sleeveless roadies toiling in the
mid-day sun, but just...a....lone...HUGE....ultimate fighting
championship cage...
We naturally stuck around out of curiosity (didn't pay 3 dollars
for
squat) - so, eventually this, I suppose you'd call him an MC of
sorts,
comes out and starts announcing the proceedings to take place for
the
day...
Well! We quickly discovered that what the whole event entailed was
in
fact...midget wrestling, with a country and western theme... I
came to
this conclusion when I saw a (naturally diminutive) midget come
into the
ring who, and I swear this is true, was a dead ringing replica of
Willie
Nelson...10 gallon hat (well, perhaps 5 gallon hat in his case)
and long
strawberry-blonde tresses et al...he kept treading on the latter,
which
genuinely seemed to add to his aggressive demeanour...
I simply had no inkling that there was a following for this type
of fare
anywhere in this world, but to revert to my 1st sentence on this
mail, I
cannot resist a big name in lights, and this aptly named
wrestling
legend, the one and only Willie Half Nelson, certainly brought a
tear to
my eye...
Jeez, I can go off on a tangent, my apologies Michael.
How much will it be for 2 people? (29 pulled out when they heard
you
weren't the singing Michael Jackson)

Hi Allen.
Michael is busy with a 3 day conference and asked me to get back to you.
The cost is R3400 ex VAT per delegate.
Shall I get Marilyn to send you the invoice for 2 delegates?

Paul

Hi Paul
I was somewhat surprised to get a mail pertaining to the quote from somebody other than Michael himself, please don’t take offence - I think I'm only now beginning to realise now just how busy a man Michael must be.
A 3 day conference is well within the realms of what I would call "marathon" proportions and is certainly nothing to scoff at. I can only assume that the hosts are offering him generous body breaks and perhaps, if they're truly accommodating, vertical neck and shoulder massages to keep the circulation and vitality going whilst he addresses the forum.
And in so saying, this absolutely vindicates, what would to the lay person, seem like quite a high price per head for his oral renderings.
Please ask Michael what "too" delegates are numerical -wise?
I am not versed with Latin, or any other ancient languages of the wise and hence can't accept your quote at this time as it could turn out to be 5 hundred thousand trillion people in English, and that would certainly keep Michael on his feet for a very long period and could significantly influence the health of even the most advanced Swedish masseuse.
Regards
Allen
I really wish we had more people like this. Email can be so boring. Now, must dash. Need to get a glove back from hotel laundry.
