Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

The paperback of my comedian’s guide to autism is out today! I get about a message a day saying the book helped them understand their husband/wife/child/parent or even that they have recommended the book to their client/teaching establishment!

I’d appreciate any shares! ❤️
