Hello sailor,

I've started writing this email several times now. And I have not sent it just as many times.
Normally I have a good sense of purpose for the email, but with this one I do not.

This time it is also aimed at a minority of readers, but everyone is welcome to read it.

I also cannot decide if I am writing it to inform, or to get something off my chest.
The subject is emotionally charged, which I usually try to avoid.

Here it goes.

Dear American customers,
