Dear Mr Hammond,

I have it upon reliable evidence that you have received one of your parcels. I hope the other arrives in time too!

I fear the postmarks will not have helped you. I am quite crafty like that and have not been guessed "before the event" by a Santee before (that's already a clue!). The second parcel may help geographically from its contents.

Like you I'm a musician and an actor, I also use .73 Dunlop picks, I do not make or wear chainmaille but used to be handy with a sword, I'm very fond of hot sauces and have sampled some of the very hottest in-situ (I need them as it's so b****y cold up here in the North of Finnish Lapland), I thought of sending you some Newtones to wean you off those Martin PB's, Guinness we also have in common although I drink it rather than collect it! I will send you my CD when its eventually finished! What else? I could do something cunningly mathematical with our respective ages but that would probably be too easy a clue. My favourite colour is green.

Well, some of my parts are beginning to drop off with this exposure to the cold so I'll sign off for now...

Sledge!!! (good he's pulling over!)

Your SS up the Arctic
