'Dear Alex, I met you a few weeks ago in Union Square when you helped me solve my problem. I was afraid no one would remember my birthday. You asked questions.... I ended up having one of my best birthdays ever. I am intrigued by your decision to strike out on your own and solve everyone's problems, one question at a time.'
