Dear Mr. Marcus:

Just a short note to let you know that my "new" stainless steel Rolex watch is functioning beautifully.  I have been using it in my laboratory to time experiments and now consider it part of my laboratory instrumentation.  I appreciate your long efforts to obtain the watch for me, especially since I realize you could not have made very much profit on my "metzia."  Happy New Year to you and please extend my thanks to your lovely wife.
