Dear Ruth, Thank you very much for taking the time to see my wife, Melissa. It is with the deepest remorse that I have asked you to see her because she has recently confessed to having a short affair with a fellow member of the Country Club. That individual has since been removed from the club, but there are several issues that must be resolved before my marriage can continue. I'm asking you as a fellow member of the Fraternal Order of Domestic Disciplinarians to examine my wife for any possible sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, I want my wife to be punished.

Dear Ruth, Thank you very much for taking the time to see my wife, Melissa. It is with the deepest remorse that I have asked you to see her because she has recently confessed to having a short affair with a fellow member of the Country Club. That individual has since been removed from the club, but there are several issues that must be resolved before my marriage can continue. I'm asking you as a fellow member of the Fraternal Order of Domestic Disciplinarians to examine my wife for any possible sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, I want my wife to be punished. I don't feel that it would be possible for me to objectively handle that. The pain in my heart is deep, but she wants very much to make our marriage work. I love her deeply. She knows that the only way things will continue with us is to submit herself to you. She has experienced corporal punishment growing up. It is a subject that she is deeply embarrassed about. I would suggest that you have her explain those events of her past and use them as a pattern for the present. The only thing she does know is that I must have a positive report from you at which time all past transgressions will be forgiven. Sincerely, Benjamin Hayes.
