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
