(Letter 001)

Can you be to [sic] obsessed with LORT?

Hungry Pippin
Yes, indeedy, young'un. The Legion of Rowdy Tooks may seem like a fine group of young hobbits to take up with, but they're no good, I tell 'ya. I know it's them that's been tearing up my taters, so you don't want to be going and doing something as foolish as idolizing those ruffians. If your dad knew you'd been carousing with that pack of lazybones, he'd tan your hide.

(Letter 002)

Dear Whoever/reads/this/email,

I am 12 and live with my mom, dad, and younger sister. My sister is being very mean to all of the family, and she just keeps hurting our feelings. We've asked her what's wrong, but she doesn't tell us anything. She cuts us down and makes smart ellicy and rude remarks. I've thought about giving her a good punch allot but she only runs crying usually) to my mom, and whines and cry's about how I'm being unfair.

HELP!

Estelwen
Verily, this is a deep problem. The respect of younger siblings should be enforced! One must be careful, however, not to threaten them in public else face the wrath of the Valar, or parents, as the case may be. I have also seen the results of responding to disrespect with violence. One little kinslaying and you are doomed forever, trust me on this. Try channeling your energy into creating something unique and beautiful. You never know who will benefit from (or be forever cursed by) the fruition of your talent.

Feanor of the Noldor


(Letter 003)

I'm in love with one elf, two scruffy humans and nineteen orcs. Who should I choose?

Pashnakette from Gundabad
Garn! It's obvious who you should choose: the mighty Uruk-Hai! We, loyal servants of the mighty Saruman the Wise are the best fighters, and we've just eaten the elf and the humans anyway. There's no need to choose between us because we're going to fight over you anyway. You can have the survivor, which will be me, and we'll eat the runners up to celebrate. How does that sound?
