User blog:John Breasly/A Reply to the Demands of Jeffrey Scurvyfury & Joseph Plundertimbers

January 22, 1746

To Princes Jeffrey Scurvyfury and Joseph Plundertimbers,

''It has come to my attention that you our demanding your removal from Great Britain's wanted list, in exchange for the continual life of one of my best soldiers. This letter is to acknowledge your demands, and state: no, you will not be removed. We acknowledge and denounce your "threats." Should said soldier perish by any means, whether he drown after falling from a boat, have a heart attack, or a bolt of lightning hit him in the rain, you shall be blamed. The consequences of his death will not result in yours... no. It shall result in the entire termination of one village along the Spanish coast. Men, women, and children alike. I do not play games, and this goes for any British High Commanding officers who perish by Spanish hands.''
