Hey there Ms. Van Derbilt,
So glad to finally get in touch with ya. My cousin, Irwin, gave me this address, hope it gets to ya. Anywho, just wanna ask you for a lil bit of help. See, my cousin, Mary-Lou, she wants to act. There’s not much for her to do over in a lil town in West Virginia. We only got 321 people in our lil ol’ community. I was just hoping you could help me out. I heard you was a good musician, and you’re in California so maybe you could give me the name of someone that could get her a job in acting. Don’t matter if it’s small at first. Heck, she’s only 16. Write me back if you can. See ya, Jiminy Billy-Bob Pinkerton

Dear Mr. Pinkerton,
Such a gentleman! Please, call me Florance! I’d be very happy to help you, I’m sure one of my band members knows someone that could help. I’m the guitarist in “Fisherman’s Toy” I’m sure you’ve heard of us. Well, I’ll ask around. You must be very fond of your cousin for you to be doing such a favor for her. Just give me some time to make some enquiries and I’ll get back to you as soon as something comes up.
Sincerely,
Florance Van DerBilt
August 13, 2009Hi Ms. Florance,It’d be great if ya could, but I’m a bit worried, it’s been a month and maybe you aren’t finding no one. Gee, I haven’t been having such a great year, this would really help out. I ran for mayor, but my cousin Chuck won. Mary-Lou sure is a great girl, but she doesn’t pay any attention to me cause after all I’m just a country boy that works in one of them pig farms. I write some poetry though and when I sent a couple of poems last year to Roy L. Spinks, my favorite poet, he tells me they was pretty darn good for a farm boy. Maybe I could send you one or two poems for you to put some music to. I’ve got some great ones bout porky the pig, my favorite animal. Whatta ya think? Hope to hear from you soon, Jiminy Billy-BobAugust 25, 2009Hello Jiminy Billy-Bob,
Sorry about taking so long to write, but I’ve been quite busy with the band. We were on Tour in Northern California. Now we’re back, though, and I’ve made some connections with people who work in Hollywood, who could help. There’s a small problem, Mary-Lou’s only 16, but we’ll see what we can do. One of the people I spoke to is an assistant director in one of the studios and he told me that they’re shooting a new teenage movie and they may have a role for Mary-Lou. Please, send me her portfolio of photos and her resume.
Write back soon,
Florance
August 28, 2009Hey Florance,Thanks for all your trouble, and thank God you’ve found someone to help Mary-Lou. I told her about the portfolio and resume and she aint got one. She was real excited, though, and I’m gonna drive her down to Charleston tomorrow where Cousin Buck works in a grocery store and he should know how to do one of them portfolios. I’ll send you the package as soon as we get it ready down in Charleston. Thanks againt, Jiminy Billy-Bob
September 3, 2009Dear Jiminy Billy-Bob,
I gave the portfolio to the director and he really liked Mary-Lou. He wants to see her as soon possible to audition her for the role of a cheerleader. By the way, I really appreciate the fact that you’ve been really respectful of the fact that I’m a gay man and a Polish one at that. I wouldn’t have expected that a guy from West Virginia would be such a gentleman and so understanding. I’m going to do my best to help Mary-Lou and I’d really appreciate it if you’d come to California with her so maybe I could meet you and we could get to know each other better.
Love,
Florance
October 15, 2009Hey Jiminy Billy-Bob,
I haven’t heard from you for a while, everything ok? When can I expect to see you in California? I’m waiting for your visit.
Love,
Florance
