  Godwin, lemme ask you a question. How do you show a girl you like her and are interested without scaring her away? What’s your secret? I bet with Sweet Rose you behaved all nonchalant at first and that made her want you more. What’s the secret, Godwin?

  Do not worry so much over ladies. You will find a sweet rose of your own.

  Absolutely. I’m all over this, Godwin. You wouldn’t believe how much I’m looking forward to sending my phone to you. I was thinking about what you said about girls and boldness all night. I think maybe the thing to do is to focus on other things and be independent; not *need* a lover. Then perhaps one will come along when I least expect it.

  Hey Godwin,

  I packaged it all up yesterday, ready to go. You’re not going to believe this but when I checked on it this morning, I discovered, to my dismay, that I didn’t have an iPhone at all. What I actually had was just an old remote control for the television. God knows how I got it into my head that it was an iPhone 4. Does Sweet Rose need a remote control? If so, I can send it to you anyway.

  See? Far more accessible.

  Hello James,

  Thanks for responding to my message and how is weather over there in your country?

  I am the only single daughter of my late Father who was Zimbabwe’s main political power broker. My late father was imprisoned by Defense Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is known as “the Crocodile.” My late father is now dead.

  Princess Mina,

  I’m so sorry to hear about your late father but I’m sure your late father would be proud of you for raising the flag for your father who is late.

  I have to tell you, I don’t like the sound of this crocodile one bit. We must fight corruption wherever we find it! For example, I was at the optician’s yesterday and the glasses weren’t too pricey but then they tried to up-sell me on the thin lenses, reflective coating, Pentax anamorphic stuff. I know it’s not quite the same, but I’m just trying to say that I get it, Princess Mina.

  Question. Do you ever get tired of living in the palace? What’s your day-to-day like? Do you have servants and a tiger?

  Weather is fine.

  Oh James,

  It is my pleasure to hear from you back! Life is hard for me here. My uncle was the one who have made every evil arrangement to kill my father. After my late father died, my uncle called a meeting on how to divert all my fathers investment. My uncle have asked my mother to hand him over all my late father’s property document which include his industry called PAPER MILL INDUSTRY.

  Princess Mina,

  This sounds awful. Oddly, I know a guy who was in a similar position and what he did was put a play on in front of his uncle. I know, I know – hear me out. You make the play about your uncle murdering your father. Your uncle will freak out when he sees it!

  I’m sorry life is hard. What do you do to unwind? Do you have any pictures of you in royal attire?

  P.S. One more thing: you might want to look into your mother’s relationship with your uncle. No reason.

  You have God’s personal phone number? Question. Is it 0870? I don’t care who he is; that’s a very expensive call. Lots to chew on here. What does PAPER MILL INDUSTRY produce?

  hello dear, the PAPER MILL industry belongs to my late father they produce stationary and toilet tissue papers but my wicked uncle took over everything after master minding the death of my parents and my brother. I know that he is behind all those calamities that befall on my family.

  Princess Mina, your story fills me with sadness. Have you tried talking to your uncle? Sometimes that helps. Maybe if you told him how upset you are that he masterminded the deaths of your parents and brother it might clear the air. How is the loo roll business going? Is he doing a good job of running that company?

  Princess Mina, I would never betray you like your uncle has. But think about it from his perspective; he probably feels he has to live up to this image of him that you all have. He probably doesn’t actually want to make people pay with their lives; he’s just afraid of what would happen if, instead of executing them, he let them into his heart.

  It’s hard with family. I know this because I played Monopoly with mine at Christmas.
