Charles Edward Restaurant Av. Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek, 1426 Itaim, Sao Paulo Brazil
Dear Charles Edward Restaurant,
I am Kevin Dickinson, agent to many world-famous authors, actors, and politicians over the years. My most recent client, although a bit unorthodox, is a very nice gentleman who would like to dine in your restaurant if possible next month.
His name is Arbuckle McFlisters and he is a world-class mime. As I am sure you are aware, mimes do not generally speak so Mr. McFlisters has his own way of ordering. Do you usually accommodate guests who order by playing charades? For example, he may start by ordering water (he will make a swimming gesture). If he would like to try the lobster, he may pinch the waiter in his “area,” or if he decides instead to dine on steak, he will perform an elaborate interpretive representation of the entire lifespan of a cow, up to the end at the slaughterhouse. He will do this with no props and is completely professional. (I assure you that Mr. McFlisters will not disturb your other customers in any way.)
Arbuckle McFlisters is entirely dedicated to his profession in that he no longer speaks, even in the presence of close friends and family. This is why he cannot talk directly to the waiter. He keeps two assistants at his sides at all times. These assistants will be present in the restaurant, so that they may quickly paint a smile on his face if the food is as superb as you claim, or (hopefully not) a tear beneath his eye if the cuisine is unsatisfactory. Although I doubt this will be the case, because Mr. McFlisters and I have read such wonderful reviews of Charles Edward.
Please let me know if Arbuckle McFlisters and his two mime apprentices will be able to dine in your restaurant for one night somewhere between August 10 and August 28, 2006 (please specify if any of these days are booked already). I look forward to your prompt response, and thank you again for accommodating my unique client.
Warmest Regards,
Kevin Dickinson Agent to Mr. McFlisters |
