You know, I would love to believe that you really are Jerome David
Salinger. But I simply cannot. So far, you haven't shown any convincing
proof that you are, indeed, the great writer that you claim to be. All
you've given us is a bunch of e-mails with spelling errors. A lot of
people on the mailing list take this very seriously. I, for one, am really
very serious about this. As a matter of fact, the only "gift" that I would
like to receive from my parents is a trip to J.D. Salinger's house. That's
the only reason why I would like to have a passport and a visa. Please, do
not toy around with people and their emotions. You have no right to do
this and you have no right to be on the list if you're going to make a
mockery of it all by insisting that you are J.D. Salinger (without showing
us any reasonable proof).
It's been a verrrrrrry long time since I sent something on the list but I
just felt that I had to, this time.
Respectfully yours,
