<DIV>Dear Eleri</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You should be grateful that one or both of your girls may be candidates for the Order of the Evil Basset Empire. I don't even think that we have any European members! They could be the first.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When you find out which one is the Evil One, just let me know. i will be happy to make a certificate for your Evil Basset, but I ask a $14 donation to Oregon Basset Hound Rescue, because (frankly) they need the $$. and you want the certificate, right? That's how economics used to be anyway!! Besides, I know you would be secretly proud to frame and hang a certificate of OEBE membership on your wall.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Roland, OEBE Potentate</DIV></td></tr></table><br>
