Let me light a candle and pull out my portable kneeler to pray so that the mishap you experienced with your consignment two months ago does not happen again. I presume a goat sacrifice will not improve the odds considering the nature of the product that is being transported.

I am not sure I will be able to attend the Gourmesse, although I must admit I find it difficult to resist the temptation now that you have mentioned that your dégustation selection will include several samples of Mr Humphreys goat wonders. I have noted the event tentatively in my diary. If I am unable to make it, I will send my butler to run the errand (added note in my diary: hire butler).

As for the prize, it is of course well deserved. Hopefully it will help the cheese gain public recognition abroad and hence increase its availability. Not that you are not greatly contributing to spreading the Rachel gospel already.
