Dear Mr. Hegazi,

I write for Good Weekend, a magazine supplement to The Age and Sydney Morning Herald. I am also a keen Scrabble player. Would I be able to interview you about your Scrabble court battle, and your life more generally, while we play a game of Scrabble? I look forward to hearing back from you.

All the best,

John Safran

Dear John,

Thank you for your kind offer of an interview. To be perfectly frank, the entire episode has already suffered enough distortion by the media to the extent that I have decided to put the whole affair behind me. Therefore, I am going to respectfully decline your offer.

All the best,

Mohammed
