Dear British Museum,

Please find enclosed material which I have excavated: they are the remains of a Jewish man who died of a heart attack more than two thousand years ago.



Dear Archie Digger,

Thank you for sending these specimens to us.
Our experts have examined them, and they concur that they are the remains of a man, who was probably Jewish, and died more than two thousand years ago, as you have said.

Our experts cannot determine the cause of death, although they consider a heart attack is certainly a possibility.

They have asked me to communicate how impressed they are with your determination of these matters, and ask if maybe you will share with us how you reached these conclusions.


Dear British Museum,

Apologies if my prior submissions to you were incomplete, but I did not think you would be concerned with the other material which I had recovered, specifically the betting slip which he was still clutching in the remains of his hand, and which read: "TWENTY THOUSAND SHECKLES ON GOLIATH"
