Dear Kim,
 
This is Jake.  I am so glad you were pleased with my shipping proceedures.
I pride myself on being professional-like.  I was only put in charge of
shipping a few months ago an I really like my new job.  I like to send neat
stuff to the other ferrets everywhere.  That is a really great job.  Me an
the postman are buddies now, too.
 
When I got promoted I wanted to look real sharp for my new job, so I wanted
to wear my nice white shirt an my maroon tie.  Maroon is my color!  But
mommy said since we worked from home we didn't have to dress up, but I told
her I want to.  Mom and I finally compromised an I don't wear my white
shirt, she says I'll just get Ferretone on it anyway, but I get to wear my
tie everyday.  I like I think my tie looks sharp.  I have been real careful
an have not spilled Ferretone on my tie even once, so far.  Someday maybe
she will let me wear my white shirt to work, too.
 
Mom got a package once for us fuzzies here from a big medical place, an
inside the box at the bottom was a little piece of paper that said who
packed the order, an so I figured that was the most professional way to ship
packages, so I got my brother Buddy (he is the computer whiz in the family)
to print them for me, an I sign them an stamp them with my little foot.  It
sure is a pain to get all that ink off my foot at the end of the day,
though.  Now I know what Emily an Rikki have been complainin about all this
time.  They have to endorse their sponsors' checks before mommy can use
them.  Anyway, that's why I put in the little papers, I think they make us
look really important, like that big important medical company.
 
Well, my break is about over an so I need to get back to shipping the orders
to the other ferrets.  Did I tell you I like my new job?
 
Kim, please tell your kids, that Ferret #3 says "Hi".
