Dear Ms. Bullock,
For too long the world of fiction has ignored the rich vein of humor to be found in bankers and their mutual funds.
My fictional play, “Let’s Visit Mr. Banker,” illustrates the single-minded advice of a banker who sells mutual funds. For example, if customers ask him about interest rates rising, he advises why they should sell. Similarly, if people question him about interest rates falling, he explains why they should again sell.
I earned a Ph.D. in International Finance from the University of Wisconsin. I base this fiction on my experience with financial experts, especially with those on television.
Please note that there is no need to return the manuscript. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Paul R. De Lancey
