Sir, – I’ve decided to acquire the Met Museum in New York. I have a psychological need for those great, wonderful, valuable pieces of art.

Then I’ll acquire Tiffany’s, because diamonds are a girl’s best friend (unlike Denmark. They’re the worst friends in Europe, the world, the universe.)

Next stop: Fort Worth – for all the gold. I’ve a big, pyschological need for gold. And I want to top up my pension, bigly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. – Yours, etc,

RM Block
