Dear (Receiver Name),

I came to know from your letter about your fear and help­lessness regarding the constant threats you are getting on telephone and in written. I will be in ____________ (Place Name) very soon for a business negotiation with my exporters. It is matter of ten days, but let me enlighten you on how to counter such situation. As you have mentioned that there is no enmity in your business and your dealings are very fair, I have an apprehension that someone who knows you and your family quite well, is behind these threats. Re­member, ____________ (Receiver Name) threat is a fear psychology on which some desperate people work, to extort money.

As you have mentioned that these people can come down to fifty per­cent of that amount, my suggestion is that you should send your wife and children for a week or ten days, out­side ____________ (Place Name). In fact, I would appreciate if they can come to ____________ (Place Name), while I’m in ____________ (Place Name). Then both of us can counter this problem and yes, soon after report this matter to the police. The people threatening you have taken your wife and children to be soft targets. And in case you are chickening out, I’m there with you and I’ve lot of good contacts at high places. So keep your cool and heed my advice, as we can fix these guys. Remember, we have been quite good fixers during the college days. Write soon and let me know your plan.

Always with you,
(Sender Name)

Dearest (Receiver Name),

Time and again, you have proved true the age old adage “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Your letter literally boosted my morale and your suggestion seems quite practical otherwise, also, it is now been more than two years since our family met and the winter vacation of my children has already begun. I have decided to send them to ____________ (Place Name) and I’ve already booked the tickets for ____________ (Date), so be there at the airport. Try to be in ____________ (Place Name) by ____________ (Date), so that we can plan out things.

In the meanwhile, these people have given me a deadline by ____________ (Date) and I’ve also decided to face it out. To tell you the fact, family actually weakens an individual. When I remember the college days when both of us were big bullies, I find it so funny that today I’m being bullied. Of course, it is a differ­ent matter that you were the “bigger” bully. I’ve tried to negotiate with these people and they have also agreed to that, and this means that whoever these guys are, they seem to be amateurs. I’m still trying to find out who can be the person, near to me, who is passing all my movements. I have also decided to consult a detective agency but everything is in waiting till your arrival. Wait­ing for your visit to ____________ (Place Name) and definitely with some ad­venture to follow. So long then.

Awaiting You,
(Sender Name)
