How do I compose this note?

[Ernest Ekberg]

For 10+ years I have been a bird owner. Close to 9 of those years a forum owner
and co- owner. In that time since starting the forums we have helped a lot of
folks.
For 37 years I have been in the flooring business. It has come to the time when
I need your help. I need work. Period.
I would rather not my signature read-
