Letter to Pearl Dealer

Dear Sr. Perla, Let me explain, Sir, how I almost got the better of that poor, ignorant villager. My strategy was originally as follows: To tell him no market existed for his type of pearl. (He's an uneducated fool so I thought I would get away with this) To persuade him I was doing him a favor by buying it as nobody else would To tell him how ugly it was and how it would …

…I shall pursue him. Tomorrow, I will look for him in the village, my spies have already found out where he is living. When I see him I will offer him 5,000 pesos (although it is worth a lot more). I will tell him that is the most I can offer him, as we need to make profit. You know you can always trust me, Boss. I promise he won't get away next time. Sincerely, Pablo
