From the Bottom of My Heart

From the Bottom of My Heart

Dear Mr and Mrs Krause,

At this very sad time, I want you to know how deeply Mrs Nixon and I share your sorrow at the death of your daughter Allison.

I am sure she was as close to your hearts as our daughters are to ours. Although I know mere words cannot lessen the loss, I hope you take comfort from the sympathy the entire nation feels.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers. It may not be very consoling, but we would ask you to remember that Allison is no longer in the company of student bums (though I see Mr Maddox has dispatched a couple of niggers her way).

Yours very sincerely,

Richard M. Nixon President

P.S. The Vice-President, Mr Agnew, also extends his condolences and says he is sure that Allison was not an effete snob.
