My dearest, lovely, beautiful, kind, intelligent colleague, also more widely known as 'Dr Becki Addison',
Unsurprisingly, you may have guessed just from the manner of my address that I have a favour to ask of you. I would lie and say it's a small favour but, actually, it's quite a burden - a burden I am hoping you will bear nonetheless.
So to cap off a rather crappy week in my life I found out this afternoon that the excellent contractors who were doing some repair work to my apartment block managed to hit a few rather tricky pipes by accident. The long and short of it is we've all been ordered out of the block for a day or two whilst they fix it. I hate to stereotype builders but, yes, they work to their own timetable so I'm envisaging needing to crash somewhere for a few days at least. Here is where, I hope, you come into the story for I am humbly asking/begging if I may stay with you since I have observed your sofa looks particularly comfy. You wouldn't want me scruffy and homeless, would you?
If it sweetens the deal at all I can assure you that you'll barely notice I'm there, apart from when I'm making you breakfast and supper, of course!
Your ever humble servant,
-Leo
PS- Did I mention how lovely you looked yesterday? (Yes I am aware of the horrendous level of flattery I've put into every word of this, it's cheap but clearly the possibility of having to camp out on the sofa in Dalton's office is what has led me to this.)
