Through my mad Webtrawling skillz I discovered this (http://www.bureauofcommunication.com)site, which allows one to fill out some limited form correspondence. Seeing it implemented in other fandoms, I immediately thought of various Tolkien characters using this method to express their desires, regrets, etc. With that in mind, please accept these humble submissions to the realm of Mirth and, if the notion please you, continue in the tradition by submitting your own. Canonical errors are mine; errors in humor are the reader's.

Just to clarify: in order to post the filled forms I emailed them to myself using the website, then saved the image from the permanent link provided in the email. Hope that helps people's creative endeavors.

@ Kent: lol

@ Nog: :eek:

Hoping to make more of these tonight representing other Ages. The wealth of potential Numenor jokes is nigh overwhelming.
