dear henry peter andrew richard matthew benjamin as members and past members of this ignominious team i write to you to apologise for the mess we re in this holding pattern of defeat on defeat on defeat and though i ve done my best it feels like we tried and we fought the good fight every single night and luck well we had none don t know what i could have done i just think the time has come to step aside to leave so this will be the last time that i write to you or slur glory to the team and to all those who sail in her remember all the floodlit nights and pyrrhic victories remember all the lives we changed or thought we changed at least but like keanu reeves says pain heals chicks dig scars glory lasts forever pain heals girls like scars glory lasts forever please accept my reluctant though necessary resignation
