Subject: I won!!!!!!
Hi Uncle,
WU? I've got GR8 news... I don't know if anyone IM'd you this morning, but I won King Ahashverosh's beauty contest last night, and now I'm on top of the world; the new queen of Persia! LOL - Doesn't that rock? I'm totally excited! :-] Did you ever think your niece would be rubbing shoulders with royalty?
BTW-I changed my name to "Esther" for the time being. I'll tell you Y L8R.

Dear Madonna, I mean, Esther,
That's awesome! ;-)) I knew you could do it. One piece of advice... stay tongue-tied :-& about your true identity. I've got a strange feeling in my gut about this. I don't know why, but JIC--remember, not a word :-X that you're a Jew.
GTG, Uncle Mordie
BTW-I want you to know how proud I am of you!
--You're a hero!

Dear Uncle,
This Haman dude sounds b-a-a-a-d, but TMK, if I go to the king and he gives me the cold shoulder and turns his head away from me :^( I'm cooked. What should I do?
TLK2UL8R,

IMO you don't have a choice. Here's the thing: If you :-$ during this crisis, our help will come from somewhere else and you'll be finished. FWIW, I think we need a sneaky plan.
