Pet Costumes

Dear Sir/Madame,

I am writing to enquire about a new costume for my pet.

I was recently out walking when I noticed a rival pet owner had dressed his silly little chow chow in a sailors costume. I'm not one for being out done, so I made a costume of my own and dressed my pet up as Danny Zuko, leader of the T-birds from the film Grease, and took him out for a walk.
Unbeknown to me, several of the studs had fallen off his leather jacket so it read T- irds. As you can imagine this was extremely embarrassing and I soon became a laughing stock. I now need a professionally made costume so that I can regain my credibility
and hold my head up high.

All the costumes I have found thus far don't fit very well around his little legs, do you stock anything may fit the bill? I'm preferably looking for a military or cowboy style outfit but this is not essential.
I look forward to your response,

B. Goswold

Hi Bonaparte,

Thankyou for your interest in our store.
It was refreshing to read your email, but regrettably, at this stage we haven't ventured into pet costumes. I have however, copied our Purchasing officer onto this email for review/consideration on future purchases.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries.

Kind Regards,
Silvia
Customer Service Team Leader

Dearest Silvia,

Many thanks for your super fast response! What a shame about the costumes, I thought your company would be a dead cert, especially as you came highly recommended by my father-in-law, Nigel. But it doesn't really matter now as I gave Clive, the pet dog, to a travelling circus last week. He has been nothing but an embarrassment since the park incident so I sent him packing, like John Merrick in the film Elephant Man.

I like the picture you have created from letters at the bottom of your email, very creative.
I had ago at letter painting earlier but all I could come up with was this:

Its a coat hanger.
Do you have any other letter paintings, both Nigel & I loved the last one.

Bonaparte,
You're more than welcome and I apologise again for our lack of stock. I'm a little shocked to hear you gave Clive away, I do hope he's being looked after.
Thanks for the coat hanger, I guessed it straight away. But sadly, I don't have any more "Letter Painting" I'm afraid. I'll keep a lookout as I sometimes get them sent to me from other customers.
If you have any other queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,
Silvia

Silvia,
Firstly, I can assure you Clive is being very well looked after. Last I heard he was in Paris being fired out of a canon into a giant net type contraption. He always did enjoy flying, I once took him to Turkey for a holiday and his tail didn't stop shaking for 6 whole hours after we landed.
I've been looking for books in the local library on letter painting, but its practically impossible to find any information on it at all.
Does your company stock any books on the subject?
