Back in the day when a strongly worded letter actually carried some weight….

I suspect the author having the authority to execute people on a whim may have contributed somewhat

I always try to insinuate this possibility in mine, but it doesn’t seem to work the same.

Have you tried being Queen of England by grace of God?

Yes, but I married a racist German and my sons all ended up being emotionally stunted perverts. Maybe I'll try a different God next time.

Yes, yes I have. That also doesn’t seem to work.

If you think a strongly worded letter dosn't carry some weight, you are clearly writing the wrong letters to the wrong people.
