I think it’s very quaint that you put headings and closings on your emails as though they were letters.
I remember you said you work on Water Street. I’ll be in your neighborhood on Monday. Do finance guys ever go out for coffee in the middle of the trading day?

Rob,
Hi. How are you? Well, I hope. It’s been a long time, and I wouldn’t bother you if it weren’t important. In advance, I ask you to remove yourself from the situation and just give me straight-out, honest advice. I know that whatever else we were, we will always be friends and will always have each other’s backs. I need you to have mine now.
In the last few weeks, I’ve noticed that Dave has been a little distant and, without putting too fine a point on it, romantically uninterested. With all the stuff in our past, it’s a very tricky subject to bring up with him. So I’ve been just sticking my head in the sand.
But then the other day, he was in the shower — it was after dinner — and his blackberry was flashing. He usually doesn’t get work messages that long after the market closes. Something about it made me suspicious. I just couldn’t help myself — I looked. There were several messages, going back a week or so, from a woman whose name I didn’t recognize. I didn’t have the balls to read them. And then I heard Dave shut off the water, so I just put down the blackberry and ran like hell. But now I can’t stop thinking about it. I just have this feeling that she’s not a client.
I remembered, during the crazy time, you said something about spyware. How does it work, and how do I get some? Will you help me?
All love and gratitude,
Carol

Carol,
Well, I have to hand it to you — once again, you’ve put me in an impossible position. If I say “no” to you, I’m a jerk, and if I say “yes,” it’s incredibly awkward for me. Rock, say hello to hard place. Hard place, I believe you know rock. What a talent you have.
I’ll be over tomorrow morning, after Dave goes to work, to install some spyware on the desktop and show you how to use it. By tomorrow afternoon, you’ll be able to read every email he gets, including the naughty ones.
Please don’t wear anything provocative, and please don’t try anything. At some point we have to move on and behave like adults.
See you then,
Rob
