Tony,

Forgive me for enjoying this moment more than is seemly, but I read your email more than once, and enjoyed your more poetic self deprecation. Your attempts at earnest humility are charming, if not particularly authentic, but I believe your aim is sincere.

If I thought there was more blood in this stone, I'd make you dance a little longer, but that wouldn't be sportsmanlike. No one likes a sore winner. You know that best of all.

Given our mutual understanding of our new positions and stations, I believe that we can assist each other. You are indeed correct with regard to my business partner. I would be happy to see her suffer how you did.

Now: If I have any hint that you intend to deceive me, I will hand you directly to her. Believe me, you don't want that. You think you know her. You don't.

We must be cautious from here.
