Dearest Winter,
On this, the day on which we celebrate the anniversary of your arrival into the world, I firstly send my greetings and warm wishes, for such could not be more deserved by any. One hopes you have a most agreeable day filled to overflowing with happiness and that which you enjoy and hold most dear.
Secondly, a matter of a more personal and sensitive nature. When next (first) we meet, I daresay I shall oblige you with a drink or two (or several), such as we have not done via skype in an age and an age. You also have my solemn word that I will do the appropriate thing and take advantage of all the situarion has to offer, including one you yourself made previously.
Lastly, it is with a heavy heart that we must regretfully inform you that we find the current situation unacceptable and, thusly, ripe for regime change. It is for this reason that we hereby formally indicate our desire to compete with you in that most noble of competitions - a duel, with the virtue of yon fair maiden at stake. We will, of course, provide (in due course) a list of times and dates which we find available for such; if they are not agreeable to you, we will oblige you in choosing an appointment that is most satisfactory for you. Should you need to reschedule after this, it will be considered a forfeiture on your part.
Once again, best wishes on this happy occasion.
Remaining eternally yours,
Kimble
PS: we really do need to drink more and get on skype
