Hi Charlotte,

The firm breasts did catch my eye-so well on that front! Before I assure you that I am interested in your present ‘tumultuous dilemma’ –can we clarify one or two things?

You mention that you are happy to share any problems that you may experience in the oncoming year. What would be discussed between us, would be (for the record) entirely in your hands. However, you do state that you are happy so long as any advice is confidential-and I don’t want to mislead you in this area. The intention behind my offer of free counselling, which as you know will take place entirely over the internet, is not only to lead the recipient of my advice into making better life decisions but to gather a body of work which can be used for research purposes. I am currently writing a book, which explores the powerful and frequently underused techniques, which can so easily transform people’s lives. Whilst you can be assured that I will not discuss any of our conversations with other people it may be necessary at some point to quote aspects from your case study, to render the discoveries of our journey as evidence for success. For this reason I would need you to agree to entrust me with all our future correspondence. I could see why this might leave you feeling uncomfortable with the situation, which is why it’s important to highlight.

 Yes, it is true that many- not millions-I’m not really that famous-may like the idea of free counselling from a ‘celebrity’ healer, not so many would be au fait with the idea that they may end up as a source for some kind of alternative healing debate.

Let me know what you think?

Ps. Should this email have put you off from any further dialogue - let me impart to you the well and pertinent saying of Yogi Berra:

‘When you come to

A fork in the road-

Take it’.
