I read with interest your article about Sybil

Firstly, let me say there is absolutely no question of the cost of Sybil's upkeep falling on public funds. Downing Street is so full of vermin that she has no trouble in feeding herself.

But my main point in writing is to say that we do have a job for Rufus. My predecessor has left me a cupboard full of skeletons and we would appreciate Rufus's help in burying the bones, possibly in St James's Park.
Rt Hon Alistair 'Magpie' Darling MP,
Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Editorial note: - Although this letter came with an HM Treasury address, it also came in an envelope with a Channel Islands stamp. Rufus is hot on the scent (but can probably be bought off with a packet of dog biscuits).
