Dear Mr. Heemskerk
As General Secretary of the Performing Flies Union I am concerned that you have decided to call these flies Funnia rather than there proper name Fannia. This is in contravention to the Working Practices of Circus Acts (Flies and Bugs) 1984, Paragraph 18/3. This is unless of course they are being trained as Clowns. Rates of pay for Clowns is Grade 4, which is 2 levels above the rate for Acrobats (Grade 6).
I have not been aware of any Documentation regarding Union Membership of the aforementioned Fannia, or any training records. Please be so kind as to forward these Documents at your earliest convenience.

Your Servant
A.Jobsworth G.S, PFU.
