IS MY HANDWRITING TOO SLOPPY FOR YOUR EYEBALLS?  HERE'S THE TEXT OF THE ABOVE CARD ...
JIM SKINNER, CEO / MCDONALD'S CORPORATION / 2111 MCDONALD'S DRIVE / OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS 60523
JIMBO!  CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW GIG.  IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES THAT YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT MANY TIMES.  ALTHOUGH I HAVE ADVISED YOU AGAINST CHANGING THE NAME TO "KROC'S."  YES, I REALIZE IT'S IN HONOR OF THAT GUY WHO INVENTED MCDONALD'S, AND YES, I REALIZE THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR MARK ON THINGS.  BUT WHO WANTS TO ORDER A "QUARTER KROC WITH CHEESE, PLEASE"?  BESIDES, "KROC'S" TRANSLATES TO "TWISTED NOSE" IN KYRGYZSTAN, WHICH IS BOUND TO CAUSE CONFUSION AND SLIGHT FEAR.  P.S.  SAY HELLO TO MIKE FOR ME, BUT NOT ANDY.
