His parents took him to the local hospital and in admissions he asked if doctor Jeff was there, he wanted him to take care of him.
Well, Doc, I was wondering to aid his recuperation if you would sign and send a photo of you for him?
Please, let me know and I will send the appropriate info, thanks ahead
