To: The Bardwell Boys
From: MaryBeth and Lindsay
Re: "The First To Leave Bet"
Date: September 2, 2003
Deadline: December 10, 2003

To whom it concerns:

A bet has been placed to establish which Bardwell boy will "Leave First." The victor will win a wonderful consolation prize to be announced at a later date. Here is the bet:

Several Bardwell boys have made comments pertaining to their wishes to leave northern Ohio and travel to visit either Lindsay or myself. Knowing that statements by Bardwell boys regarding visiting the aforementioned women can often be erroneous, a bet has been placed. The bet is designed to see if any of the Bardwell boys will "Leave" and visit Xavier or Butler. The "First To Leave" before December 10, 2003 will win a consolation prize. The rules are simple:

1. You must physically leave northern Ohio and physically be in the presence of Linsday or MaryBeth.
2. Rules can be added to the Bet by either Lindsay or MaryBeth at any time.

The game is simple! Good luck!

Sincerely - MaryBeth and Lindsay
