TeamJackal receives a lot of fan mail from all over the world. Some of it is just plainly adoring, while other emails are a lot more interesting. Here's an example:


Dear Team Jackal,

Re: Missing Force
For some time now I must confess to have been completely absorbed in the wondrous sailing tales and great endeavours on and off the water of Team Jackal. The nights are very lonely for me nowadays on the Death Star, and I can hardly wait between published news articles demonstrating your laudatious use of the 'force' and your frequent whippings of that rascal Rapscallion.
Thus, since we have so much in common, I feel it my duty to advise you that of late, I have had to commandeer said 'force' for my own endeavours - albeit I'd hate to leave your own efforts overshadowed.
As such, I wondered whether you may wish to cross over to the dark side and join Team V, where I have your missing 'force' well under control. We have some very exciting plans over here - including complete eradication of the dastardly Rapscallion, our sworn enemy, as well as total destruction of some annoying little blue-green planets.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully
D. Vader

Dear Darth,

What a lovely email. You must have quite a bit of time on your hands on that Death Star, all alone, fiddling with your lightsabre late at night. I do have to confess that when it comes to using the Force, Teamjackal are still learning, but we continue to practice. I'm sorry to have to tell you that we prefer to remain on the light side. However, Team V sounds interesting: but do you have to take a lot of Viagra?
I think the total eradication of Rapscallion might be a bit over the top, and will leave us little to play with on the water, and even less to moan about around the bar. Nice thought, but we are still sportsmen all the same....
Darth, you really have to stop going on and on about green-blue planets. Zoning has already commenced for a shiny new inter-galactic by-pass, resulting in imminent demolition of same. You've been beaten to that as well, so I guess you've got to be fast or last, - which brings me neatly around to the subject of sailing again, and fast being the very reason that TeamJackal is consistently out there complete with sponsors, stunning publicity, race-chicks and gallons of free beer and champagne.
I guess some of us have got it and others just have to wear somewhat cumbersome facemasks.
Keep up the great work in the dark
