“I know you never crossed my paths and I’ve never crossed yours, but I also know we both had two illustrious careers. If you are really serious about coming out of retirement. I’m the dude that just can’t say no.

“So you want to make it happen, you’ll know what to do. Peace. Merry Christmas again. Happy New Year,” he concluded.
