Esquire Club
254 Wall Street
Raleigh, North Carolina

To Whom it may concern,

Because you have rejected the membership of my friend and associate, Sheriff Andy Taylor, one of the most honorable and courageous men, and all-around nice guy, you will ever find, I must humbly refuse the gracious invitation you have bestowed on me to join your exclusive club.

Sincerely,
Bernard P. Fife, MD
