Dear Simon,
Hey! How’s it going? I have some news you might be interested to hear- I’m finally selling my dad’s old ’67 Chevy. Now that I have a family, with two little firecrackers, this mode of transport just isn’t cutting it. My wife freaks out about the lack of safety, and, unfortunately, she’s not wrong! They didn’t design those old beasts with car seats in mind.

Now, buddy, I know how much you’ve always loved this car. I recently had it painted, as well, restoring the shiny black coat it was born with. Also, last year, we reupholstered it with this incredible cherry-red leather that is rather delicious looking. I really don’t want to give up this gorgeous creature!
Anyway, I know this car suits your lifestyle to a T. Since you bike commute to work, it’s not like you’d be putting on the miles. This car exists for the pure pleasure of cruising, which I know you love. Plus, I’m willing to sell it at a significant discount to you, because I know you’d take care of her!
Let me know what you think!
All the best,
Mike
