Response:
Dear Mr. Davis,
Thank you so much for your message. As heart breaking as it is, we are relieved to finally know what has happened to our dear Marvin. He was a pillar in the community, well loved by all.
It comes as no surprise that Marvin came into such good fortunes. He was always one to go above and beyond what was necessary for the good of all around him. Having discussed it with the rest of Marvin's family, as well as his wife SpankXXX's family, I will be the one to represent him in these affairs.
Please, let me know how we can move forward with this as quickly as possible. We have decided that all of the money will be donated to some of Marvin's favorite charities: The Hair Club for Men, Cure-E.D., Friends of Rick, and Never Gonna Give!.
Marvin will be greatly missed, but hopefully, this money can be put to some good use. In a way that he would, not only approve of, but do himself.
Kindest regards,
Scott Shanahan
If you have half an inkling to click on any of the links I used - PLEASE, for the love of all things decent and just - DO NOT click on "Friends of Rick" or "Never Gonna Give"!!!!! You will hate me! If you do decide to go ahead anyways, please open in a new window!
You have been warned!
