Dear John Letter 1

• Dear John,
• This may come as a total shock but I must inform
  you that I am not what I seem.  During the past
  ten months I have been doing understudy work for
  the nunnery.  Yes, John - I am a nun.
• Our nunnery wanted to discover how the other half
  lived - how the other half loved.
• So now you know, John.  I can only hope that you
  won't be crushed and throw yourself off of a
  bridge or something.  You may suddenly feel alone
  - and trust me, I personally know how that feels
  - if that's any comfort to you, John.  And if you
  do consider tossing yourself off a bridge, please
  don't count on me flying by to save you, because
  nuns don't have wings as commonly believed, John.
• Sincerely,

Dear Jane Letter 1

• Dear Jane,
• It is with great sadness that I must inform you
  that I was bitten by a werewolf last night.  I
  was walking home, under the bright full moon and
  the next thing I knew - the beast was upon me.
• As you know, there is no known cure for those
  unfortunate souls who suffer from the bite of the
  werewolf.  Believe me, I have spent hours
  pondering our break-up, wondering the
  consequences that it will have on you.
• As for me, my love - don't worry for I shall
  never forget about you. Whenever I turn werewolf
  and stand under the light of a full moon, I'll
  howl over you - a long, ponderous, lingering
  howl.
• Please go on with your life as it's what I want
  you to do.  Never look back!  Sometimes, love
  really does bite.
• Sincerely,
