"Sorry, Ben, my last email may have offended you for my persuading you to believe in God. Actually, I should have found that from your silence to my long article 'The Conversion of My Faith.'  But you see, almost a year ago you asked me how I had converted my faith."

"No, I was not offended at all! I much enjoyed reading it. My apologies for not responding."

Just take me out and shoot me.
