Dear Chap
I’m writing to you, in complete confidence, in the fond hope that you can see your way to joining me in a little enterprise. Let me explain. My elder brother, one B. Bunter has mislaid his post office savings book, and I am reliably informed that the sum of £5 is held in his savings account. In order to release the money I need a partner in your part of the world. Chaps only, I’m afraid, so if you’re a filly please do the decent thing and put the kettle on.
Presuming you are a chap, if you could just tell me who your housemaster is, I will be able to release the funds and send you the princely amount of 37/6 – ah, those where the days, when money was money, and matron could tuck you up under a fiver.
Of course, what you do with the cash is your concern, but I do have an absolutely spiffing tip for the 3.30 at Towcester! Must dash - beaks on the prowl
Yours sincerely
Basil Bunter
