My uncle John used to live in a beautiful little house by the sea in Atlanti City
My uncle John used to live in a beautiful little house by the sea in Atlantic City.I say he “used to” live there because he doesn’t live there any more.He was killed two years ago.
Uncle John wrote novels.He not only enjoyed his job,but also made a lot of money doing it.When he died,he had $ 60 million in the bank.
After Uncle John’s death,I came to stay in his house for a while.I had been there for two days when I noticed a message on the screen of the old computer.I was very surprised,because I thought the computer had been turned off.The message said,“You have new mail!”When I read it,I thought it looked like the beginning of a novel.“This looks interesting,” I thought.“It must be from one of Uncle John’s friends.” I decided I should make an answer to the e-mail to tell him or her that Uncle was dead.However,the computer would not let me reply.
Every day for the next three weeks,more email kept arriving.I printed copies of all of them.The story was about Jane Winterbourne,a young writer working on her first novel.She sent her novel to Jack Tanner,an old writer and asked him to help her to publish it.However,he cheated her,and published the novel himself---pretending that he had written it.The novel was very successful.Tanner made a lot of money,and bought himself a house by the sea in Atlantic City.It was then that I realized that “Jack Tanner” and “Jane Winterbourne” were false names.“Jack was meant to be Uncle John.
