From: Mike Mallarhyde, CEO and Owner, Mike's Monkey House

Dear Minister,

We will be happy to use the greatest discretion in sending you your monkeys. Of course there are places where there are laws that make it difficult for people to find these poor monkeys (who would otherwise be trapped in the jungle full of savage animals and dangerous tribesmen) a good home. You can count on us to do the shipping to your exact specifications.

Expect your monkey shipment soon.

Have a nice day,
Mike Mallarhyde, CEO and Owner, Mike's Monkey House

Honorable Greetings Mike Mallarhyde of the house of monkeys,

I have the honor of representing the Imperial Menagerie of the Royal Palace in the Shrailleeni Empire. It has come to our attention that your establishment provides the finest array of healthy, high-quality, and rare monkeys from around the globe. As part of the Empire's tradition of maintaining the most diverse, educational, and natural artificial habitats for many kinds of animal, we simply must obtain many specimens of monkey to increase the quality of our exhibits.

We would like to inquire if you might be able to provide the services of monkey experts, to ensure that we obtain the best information of the facts, details, and habits of the monkeys in questions and to help construct the best possible monkey habitats. We are also interested in obtaining breeding pairs only. Her Enlightened Majesty will, of course, cover the bill.

Honorably Yours,
Zecharas Serrin
Director, Imperial Menagerie

YES, I WANT TO BUY A MONKEY OR EVEN LOTS OF MONKEYS!

Dear Director,

I recently hired a large number of monkey experts following a glut of monkeys from Dahamy and Dengali, and so I'd be glad to provide some of them to the Imperial Menagerie! If there's anyone on the planet that loves monkeys more than Mike Mallarhyde, it's these rascals. Seems like Her Majesty is about to have one of the best monkey habitats and displays in the Region! Our team of vets and other monkey experts will be hard at work fulfilling your order, and I'll send one of my associates to make sure that everything is exactly as you need!

Expect your monkey shipment soon.

Have a nice day,
Mike Mallarhyde, CEO and Owner, Mike's Monkey House

To His Serenity the Doge

We understand that you wish to receive a sampler of monkeys, and we are glad to provide them. One monkey of each species will be in a good cage, well trained and friendly will be shipped by the best means possible for your pleasure and companionship! And may I say, I love some of the wines your Serenity's country produces, in fact I'm sipping a glass of Giunti Rosa right now and I have to say, mighty fine doesn't even cut it.

Expect your monkey shipment soon.

To His Grace the Duke

We understand that you wish to receive 1 Emperor Tamarin, Gift Wrapped if possible, and we are glad to provide it. This is one of the best of the small monkeys we have--in fact it's royally amazing! However we can't put it in a gift box, because that's cruel. Instead what we're going to do is put some fancy ribbons and bows on the cage, with a nice cage cover that allows air flow. We don't advise putting a ribbon on the monkey as Tamarins don't like being dressed. It may be small but it's feisty!

Expect your monkey shipment soon.

Have a nice day,

Dear Prince David,

First of all: monkeys need exercise, so you need a big cage for them, at least as big as the average small house. They should have stuff to climb on, places to hide (not so good you can't find them) they need both light and shade, and they can be kind of dangerous. Imagine dealing with a dog that has five hands and is really smart! We'll send one of our monkey handlers to show you the ropes. Monkeys kind of eat like vegetarians, so they eat nuts, fruit, veggies just like we do. The monkey I'm sending you loves peanut butter and banana sandwiches. You can buy monkey biscuits which we also sell, and can provide you with on a monthly or yearly shipping basis if you like.

We will also include our monkey manual which has dietary information, veterinary information, some background on the monkeys written by a real monkey scientist, and all kinds of other fascinating stuff that even I never knew about monkeys.

Have a nice day,
Mike Mallarhyde, CEO and Owner, Mike's Monkey House

Dear Jarl Johan Bjorn

You said you wanted vicious monkeys, which is an unusual request, and that you want them in breeding pairs, even more so! You know the answer to your request--Capuchins for small and Baboons for big! Put them in pairs rather than in groups and you can bet they'll be bad tempered. We usually have some monkeys that are just plain not happy monkeys. Who knows why? We've sent you all that we have currently, ones that we wouldn't normally sell to anyone. Hope they work out for you.

Your order for 2 mandrills, 6 Japanese macaques and 6 common marmosets is being shipped out even as this message is sent. They will make a wonderful display for your zoo. However, we recommend that your macaques should be a group of 1 male and 5 females as they are polygamous and a divided group would fight too much. We hope you enjoy your monkeys. If we have not filled your order to satisfaction polease let us know.
