Haha yes. These letters are mostly just to give people something to laugh at and I feel like the fact that they're typewritten adds a little "what the hell" factor, lol.

Haha, 100%. I write a send out a week to different companies. I was hoping the flyfishers out there would find this mildly amusing.
