Here's one that was mailed to Mayor R.T. Rybak, Minneapolis:
 
Dear Mr. Rybak.  I was very pleased (tickled, frankly) that you would seek my advice on ways to improve the image of your city.  Sure, Minneapolis is the nation's foremost location for avant-garde mime, but does John Q. Public know that?  I'm sure he does not.  Anyhow, I think the problem is in that tired "Twin Cities" gimmick that you have going with St. Paul.  Here's the solution: "The Triplet Cities!"  The third member of course would be Cheboygan, Wisconsin.  Man, can they make cheese!  I acknowledge that distance is an issue, but shuttle busses won't be too expensive if they are powered by one of the new bio-fuels that are likely to be invented in the next ten years.  This should make people forget all about that ugly pomegranate tossing incident that has tarnished the reputation of your city.  My favorite cheese is gouda. 
P.S. Does R.T. stand for "really tall"?

To J.K. Rowling --
 
Dear J.K.- Well the last book is here and I am hoping you took my advice from our conversation that crazy night at the rhubarb bar. This series needs more of Chico and less of Harry Potter. No one really cares about Harry. And will the final battle include birdseed and a pan of used motor oil? If you didn't listen to my advice and the book fails, there is still money to be made. Take a look at a series of books I just read called The Lord of the Rings. A white bearded old man, Worm tail vs. worm tongue, and a character Gollum seems to be one of your house elves, I think this J.R.R. Tolkein stole your ideas. (And who has two middle initials anyway). I'd conjure up a lawsuit spell on him. Beware of these copycat authors trying to ride your coat tails and if you see Aberforth, tell him I will be returning his swim trunks I borrowed. Thanks, Eldred Worple
