Dear Sirs,
I write to inform you that I, too, have far too much stress in my life [much of it caused by yourselves] to be able to pass a “stress test” and that, like the eight European banks that failed the stress tests on Friday, I do not have “at least 5% core tier 1 capital”. I have no idea what this may be but am absolutely sure I do not have it as I do not have any capital at all.
Therefore I feel that I, too, would benefit from a meeting with the top political representatives of my two countries, namely Messrs Cameron and Berlusconi – on second thoughts, perhaps we had better leave Mr Berlusconi out of it – so that they can urgently advise me on how to raise 2.5 billion euros against the “adverse scenarios” that are sure to befall me in the near future.
I look forward to your help in arranging this and to your earliest, favourable reply.
Yours faithfully,
Patricia Micawber

Excellent! I hope you charged the bank £50 for writing the letter too!
I'll get on to that now, jams!
Just remember that stressed spelled backwards is "desserts!" Pass the gelato!
*giggles*
(Well, pardon me, I know I should cry, really!)
I love your profile! ;-)
I like the comment about desserts! Much better to focus on desserts than to get too stressed! :-)
Well said. In Canada, if you send the letter "Care of my Government", at least you don't have to pay for the stamp.
I'll remember that, Patricia! Hi, Merisi. I think all we can do is laugh because it is all so absurd. Thank you. I agree, Saretta. What a good idea, Claude.
Thank you, WW.
