Dear Alan

Dear Alan,

          I hope this finds you well

Dear Alan,

          I have lost

Dear Alan,

          I have lost the receipt on which I wrote your address and, as such, will be leaving this letter here, on this bench, for you to collect

Dear Alan,

          I don’t suppose you have often thought of me

Dear Alan,

          I don’t suppose you have often thought

Dear Alan,

          I saw a man on the bus who I thought was you

Dear Alan,

          I knew he couldn’t have been you

Dear Alan,

          I hope this finds you

Dear Alan
