'An entertaining read, especially for those who like to share their
Saturday afternoons with Jeff and the Gang' The Sun I've Got Mail

to change my energy provider. These days my mail is often from
total strangers, usually with a simple birthday or autograph
request. But at times the correspondence is emotional, and
sometimes it is angry. Occasionally I'm entrusted with personal
issues that the correspondents probably would not tell their
closest friends. The only thing they all have in common is they
