<\/span>I’m glad to see that your web edition is covering, step-by-step, the
<\/span>knee surgery that is to be performed on our beloved prime minister.
<\/span>
<\/span>While you are at it, may I suggest including details about my
<\/span>grandfather’s hip surgery. My grandfather is a self-made man, freedom
<\/span>fighter, and a true patriot. Surely he deserves all the attention and
<\/span>coverage that your esteemed paper bestows.
<\/span>
<\/span>I’ll be glad to forward you all the details. Please let me know when.
<\/span>
<\/span>Warm Regards,
<\/span>XXX XXXXX
