I love this site. :)
From: http://www.lettersofnote.com/
Back in 2001, writer and humorist Bill Geerhart posed as a 10-year-old boy and wrote to Larry Flynt, founder of the pornographic magazine Hustler. Below is his letter, and Flynt’s response.
Thankfully Flynt wasn’t the only recipient of a letter from little Billy, and in fact Geerhart sent similarly amusing missives to a number of notable personalities; many of whom responded. All can be enjoyed in the genuinely hilarious book, Little Billy’s Letters.
Transcripts follow.

Billy’s request:
July 22, 2001
Dear Mr. Flynt,
My parents said I could subscribe to your magazine when I turn 18. That is a long time from now, my friend Eddie asked me to ask you if there is a Hustler for kids that wouldn’t make my parents mad. Please let me know.
Thank you!
Billy

Dear Billy,
Your parents are right. You can subscribe to Hustler when you turn 18. Hang in there – you’ll be 18 before you know it. Until then, you should read the Sears & Roebuck catalog.
Sincerely,
(Signed)
Larry Flynt
