Dear Mr
K**** and Mrs H****
We would
like to ask you if you would be able to make a cameo appearance in our film
opening, a comedy about a restaurant called ‘Zest’.
You would
play a couple of grumpies who exchange one line of dialogue:
Woman: I
feel quite queezy about the beef, for all we know it could be zebra, or hippo,
or giraffe
Man: It’s my
cholesterol I’m bothered about
