Dear
Aflac,
Let
me start by saying I AM REALLY SORRY. I did not mean to do what I did
and I apologize for my actions. Again, I truly regret what happened
yesterday. I am so sorry.
I
think I killed your duck. I was out hunting (for ducks) when I heard a
loud quack! I aimed my rifle and shot it three times (just to
make sure). I was out in a marsh and the weeds were high and it was
foggy and I couldn’t really see too well.
But
when I finally found the mallard I had shot, there was an envelope
floating in the water next to it. My mind shot back one minute prior –
to the quack – and I remembered in a clear recollection that it
had not been a quack at all, but rather the distinct sound of a
duck yelling “AFLAC!”
I
panicked. My heart skipped a beat. I thought of running into the
distance, into the foggy void, never to think about this moment again.
But I realized running would only cloud my dreams and haunt my memories
for all eternity. I could not live with such a painful secret.
That’s why I’m writing this letter. I jut had to tell you the straight
facts – to let you know that the star of your commercials has been
murdered. But I assure you, as both a professional hunter and a TV
watcher, that my seemingly unforgivable actions were carried out
mistakenly. I thought I was dealing with a regular Joe Schmoe duck.
Moreover, the death of your mascot was not in vain. His life was a
proud, colorful, obnoxious tribute to your wonderful insurance company.
May
he rest in peace.
Sincerely,

Kevin
