.TH "WRITE COMMAND"
The write command allows you to communicate privately with other
Fast Food tycoons.
The general form of the command is:
.EX "write [ tycoon ]"
This service is extremely affordable; stamps are a mere $1.00 each.

An example; suppose you, playing as "Syndicate" have control over a plot
that will merge a small, inexpensive chain into a large, expensive chain
and you have almost enough money to become major holder in the smaller
chain.  Meanwhile another player, "Mr. Big", has a lot of cash lying
around as the result of some bonuses and has a long-standing feud going
with the player "FatJack"...

When the player who is "Mr.Big" reads his system mail he will see
a message that looks something like:

Just thought you'd like to know about a little merger I can arrange.
You and I could really make a killing if we played it just right!
With your money and my convenient little plot we could squeeze FatJack
right out of the top spot...  Let me know if you're interested.

A $1.00 stamp will cover Food-O-Grams of up to 1000 characters or so.
If your message is longer you'll have to break it into two and pay
$1.00 for each part.
