You probably want to ask more questions now than before you read the letter. Let me start by giving you a bit of history. If you remember, the letter started as a 'Thank You' letter, which means I had to do something first.
* * * * * *
I have worked retail for a big box store for the last five years. I started part-time while I was still in high school and sixteen years old. I earned just one dollar more than minimum wage, which was okay for a teen still in school and living at home, but not so much for an adult who wants to live on her own. It augmented my meager allowance rather than replace it. Even full-time after I graduated, it was too little to live on my own, much less go to college.
Dad was upper-level management in a large marketing firm and made loads of money. Mom was an assistant manager at the store I worked at, but it was nothing compared to what Dad brought in. Luckily, Dad was smart enough to plan for his loss. Whether it was death or unemployment, he prepared for it. Dad once said that he loved us so much he would never be happy in the afterlife, knowing he left us penniless or struggling.
So, with a massive 401(k) and a substantial life insurance policy, we would be set, right? Wrong!!! No matter how much insurance you pay for, there are always bills left over at the end. You see, Dad had cancer. He tried everything he could, even experimental treatments, which we all know aren't covered by insurance. So after paying the leftover medical bills, paying off the mortgages on the house (yes, there were two), paying off the car, and getting me a used one, there wasn't much leftβjust over half a million.
Living in this upper-middle-class house was draining our resources faster than the interest could replenish it, so Mom and I talked about selling the house and buying something cheaper. That was when I came across the ad. You see, the place we lived in was 6000 sq ft on 5 acres of land and a large in-ground pool. The maintenance and the utilities are what's draining the reserves. So I was looking through the paper to see if something around 2000 sq ft and roughly two acres was available. I found two worth looking at advertised by local agents. I marked them and just kept looking out of boredom.

I immediately grabbed my phone and called the number. "Miles residence," came the pleasant male voice.
"Hi. My name is Emily Stanton. I'm calling about the ad you have for a server for a private party," I replied, trying to keep the nervousness from my voice.
"Please take down my email address. Take several pictures of yourself and attach them to the email. Include your measurements as well as your neck. You will have a response within twenty-four hours of receiving the email. Please make sure the pictures are taken with as little clothing as you can. Nude is preferred, but underwear or bikini will be fine," he instructed.
"NUDE!? I'll have to think about that. How soon do you need the email?" I asked.
"The party is next weekend. We will need to confirm staff and servants by this Thursday," he confirmed.
"Alright, today is Monday, so that gives me a day to get the email to you and still give you time to get back to me and anything else," I said, primarily to myself.
"I look forward to hearing from you, Emily."

Asking for nudes was unexpected, and I wasn't sure I could do it. I grabbed the newspaper and my phone and headed to my room. If I were going to do this, I needed to get it done to get the email back to him.
'Could I do it? I am not comfortable being naked in front of Mom. Would a stranger be any different? Maybe I'll just take a few in my underwear. No. That won't do. I am certain this is a sex party for the rich. If I can't be naked here, how can I bring myself to do what I imagine will happen at the party?'
I thought to myself.
It was a good thing I was home alone. Mom was salary, so she spent a lot of time at work. I was full-time, but hourly so I didn't stick around. Mom and I rarely saw each other. So, it was like I lived alone in this huge house. I took off my blouse and skirt and looked at myself in my full-length mirror. The standard bra and panties just wouldn't do. I removed them and looked at myself nude. I knew I was beautiful but was shy about my body. A bit self-conscious. I took the requested photos: front, back, both sides, nothing too erotic. '
I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I hope Mom doesn't find out. She'd be so angry and disappointed in me.'
I thought, just a lot nervous.
Considering the nature of the request, I could imagine that this would end up being a sex party. I was so nervous about sending the nudes that I put off transferring the pics to my laptop. But I continued to walk around the house nude. If I do this party, I needed to be comfortable with my body. It's appearing nude in front of others that scared me.
