Mr. Piggie BricksThree Houses Building Co34 Farm StreetRural Plains, BY 3466

To Mr. Piggie Bricks,

My therapist has recommended that I should write to you and apologise for my bad behaviour when I blew your friends’ houses down in anger, then attempted to blow yours down too. I acknowledge that this behaviour was wrong and that it not only put you and your friends in danger, but it was totally disrespectful to your property.

I know there is no excuse for my behaviour, but I have had a really rough year. My house was recently robbed, I lost my job and then when Piggie Straws reversed his car into mine, I unfortunately lost control of my temper. I am usually a really nice guy and fun to be around. I don’t know what came over me.

As a way of showing my sincerest apologies, I would like to host a barbeque for you and your friends. Just bring your favourite drinks and condiments and I will supply the rest. Send your RSVP to wolfie@iheartbacon.com, then we can arrange details.

Really looking forward to seeing you all.

Yours sincerely,

Big Bad Wolf
