how does he know my last name?

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for your email. I am sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, but I've been out of the country, filming. I'm an adult movie star and I was hired to do a film in Brazil. Perhaps you've heard of me? I can send you an autographed photo, if you'd like.

Please send me an email with your picture, so I know this isn't fake.

Love,
Adrienne Populi
