Dear Sykes,
    You were my life, my love, you held my heart in your hands and you killed it. I gave up everything for you. I know you like your little joke about sneaking up behind me and throwing something on me to make me think that I was being attacked by a snake. Well guess what, I am glad that your plan to have the snake bite me back fired and killed you instead. Though I was scared for my life and was horrified at what I saw, I knew who did it, who tried to kill me, who planted the snake. I know that you wanted to be with big Bertha, but when you married me you promised to love me forever. I know you think that I am stupid but why couldn't you just divorce me, it would have saved you much time andenergy and it would even have saved your life. I loved you, I worked my butt off for you so that you could always have food, a place to stay, even so you could have your pleasure time with big Bertha after you were done with me and this is how you thank me? By trying to kill me? First you torture me by keeping that snake in the kitchen, then you leave only one match for me in order to light anything, then you place the snake in my work to kill me. You are an idiot you know that, right? You always did think you were such a stud, Mr. I am too good to actually follow the rules, too good to follow the law jerk. You know why I sort and soak the clothes on Sundays, it's to make sure that I finish all the clothes in time so I can my money from those white-folks' so you can have that life you lead. I miss youvery much, I wish you could see me now. I am happy, I have moved on since you died, I now have a wonderful family, with 3 beautiful children. I hope this letter finds you wherever you ended up,  and please remember me and stop playing those mean tricks wherever you are.

I am always and forever yours,
