Thank you, Mr. Houston, for your recent communication. I was rather pleased to hear from you so prompty and for agreeing to represent me in my lawsuit against Ms. Bimbo for alienation of affection. Your retainer will be delivered by messenger...the box is heavy, therefore, I would suggest you handle it with caution.
I also thank you for your sage words..."Don't be surprised if you are not prepared."
Hopefully, per our telecon, we can also come to terms re my legal separation from the devious skunk who speaketh with forked tongue.
P.S. Yes, I think we most certainly should discuss our strategy over dinner next Friday. ;)
