People all over Hong Kong are receiving flattering letters. You are being considered for inclusion into the 1998 edition of Marquis Who's Who in the World , it says.
One of the recipients, Alexander Wetton, read with interest that the editors of this illustrious organ are compiling the 15th edition of what they call an 'essential record'.
'They are seeking details on me - humble businessman that I am - for inclusion,' he initially thought, with surprise and pride, like, no doubt, hundreds of other people in Hong Kong.
The editors congratulate recipients on 'the achievements that have brought your name to the attention of our editorial committee'.
Well, that really makes your day, doesn't it? I received a similar letter myself, and felt good that my achievements had finally been recognised, notwithstanding the fact that I could not think of any.
Then I did the same thing Alexander did.
