A man named Romeo writes a letter to Juliet proposing a three month probationary love affair that could become permanent. He details that they would initially share expenses for dates equally, but later he may take on more of the costs depending on her performance, and that he would also be open to being supported by her. Romeo requests a response within 30 days, or he will cancel the offer and pursue someone else, and also asks Juliet to forward the proposal to her sister if not interested.
