** Total(40) 38 ** ** Well, you showed me. Ransom notes are in the public eye and even studied by rhetoricians. What confuses me is the exigency, which seems to vary from serious threat (Jonbenet Ramsey) to practical joke to fictional spoof. When I read your letter, I hear humorous undertones, because of a recipe being treated like a human being, and yet it could be serious. I don't know how to read it. Your reflection does not help me with that, and does not explain why the letters are difficult to read. To me a ransom note should be absolutely clear, so the intent is absolutely clear and the expected actions are unmistakeable. Some explanation about that in the reflection would probably clear that up. **
