…letter to ISAS (The International Sarong Appreciation Society)

Dear Sir/Madam.

Please excuse the impersonal greeting. I’m afraid I haven’t had the pleasure of your acquaintance but I felt I must write. I have long been a fan of the sarong. Quite frankly an indispensable item of, would we call it, ‘clothing’?

So useful is the sarong, its list of capabilities is seemingly endless. The sarong never ceases to amaze in its versatility. One day it might be used as a curtain, another day as a bathing towel, another as a pillow for a long haul flight; as a skirt, a top, an acting changing room for getting undressed in front of other people and, please excuse my boldness, but also most helpful in my hour of need after a rather unfortunate incident on a bus. Perhaps there is no need to share details, suffice to say its capacity for cleaning and mopping of brows was much appreciated. My admiration for the sarong knows no limits. It is a fabulous item.

May the work of ISAS long continue with its promotion.

Yours faithfully,
