England’s Dreaming

The Guardian is running a series of letters, inviting 60 Brits and Americans to say whatever’s on their minds to George Bush as he makes his visit to London. A particularly good one (from Mickey, age 12) contains probably the best letter opening I’ve ever encountered:

Dear George,

I would just like to say how much I hate you.

There’s really nowhere to go from there but up, is there? Also good is:

Dear President Bush,

I’m sure you’ll be having a nice little tea party with your fellow war criminal, Tony Blair. Please wash the cucumber sandwiches down with a glass of blood, with my compliments.
Harold Pinter

and this one:

Dear Jorge,

Look out! Behind you!!

Hahahahahahahaha, only kidding.

Love,
