Dear Dr．Bamford,

　　I know you are a famous scientist who has done great work on cloning animals．Please excuse me for writing to you, but I need your help．Let me explain．

　　I am a 58-year-old man．I’m very rich．I live in a large house．My wife died three years ago; we didn’t have children．

　　So, am I lonely? No, because Cindy is with me．Every night we eat dinner together and watch TV．Cindy sits beside me and I feel very happy．I’m coaxed with her beautiful green eyes．She’s also very smart．Sometimes she thinks only about herself．But that’s what I like about her．She is quite a beautiful Siamese cat．There is no other cat like her in the whole world．

　　These days I worry about losing Cindy．She is getting older and older．Cats don’t live so long as humans, of course, so she will die before I do．I cannot imagine my life without Cindy．

　　Well, why not get another cat after Cindy dies? Impossible!No other cats ever replace her．

　　I have been thinking about this：Clone Cindy．Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals．They should be able to clone cats without much difficulty．Luckily, I am a rich man．I don’t care how much money I will spend cloning Cindy．I think it’s ok to clone pets．It’s not cloning humans．

　　What do you think? Could you clone Cindy?

Sincerely,

A rich man
