    Dear Mr Rudy, Hope this letter doesn’t come to you as a surprise since we have never met before. Actually, I am a cousin of Alex Turner, who is a friend of yours, and he suggested me that I should write to you and ask for some information from you before visiting "Athens" where you are currently living in.
