Greetings, comrade Olga. This is comrade Annastasia reporting to update you on recent developments.
I am delighted to confirm that our plan to infiltrate the car door design team office has been successful.

This is exemplary work Comrade Annastasia. When you said you would infiltrate RLE I had not envisaged such an act of derring do on your part. This will not be forgotten.
However, it is always wise to discuss these moves beforehand with the expedition leader to avoid any conflict of interest.
Yours is such an ingenious plan I am surprised I did not think of it myself. In fact, I feel sure I must have mentioned it to you in passing. The pity is, that I could have reassigned my pivotal role on the 9th to Red Sonja, freeing me to observe our quarry at close range and in intricate detail over the next 9 working days. I would have been unstinting, I would not have spared myself any exertion, and would have prepared the most intimate and detailed dossier in the history of post cold war intelligence. As you know, my experience in these matters is highly regarded.
Carry out your role well, Comrade Annastacia, but do not jeopardise our mission by becoming to close to him. I will be watching you very closely indeed.
I have to tell you that I fear one of the colleagues you mention may be from the other side. I have received reports of a counter espionage operation, and I fear that Pete may soon be exposed as a undercover journalist from the Sun.
Your devotion to duty and willingness to belittle yourself by donning a femme fatale persona is admirable but unecessary. He will willingly accompany Comrade Svetlana and I to the bus.
Accordingly I must instruct you to continue wearing the striking brown crimplene two peice purchased from Oxfam, and the statutory 100 denier woollen tights and two pairs of flannel knickers at all time. I am also enclosing two prosthetic hairy warts to affix to your nose.
This is for your own benefit, to protect you from the unwanted advances of Geoff, the 'yellow pages' of Basildon.
We have someone on the inside nevertheless. Excellent progress. Remember, sit, watch, record. You will be contacted with further details closer to the glorious day.
Comrades one and all, be of good cheer. Our task is daunting, but strengthen your resolve. If you falter and consider even for a moment that you are not involved in a worthy endeavour, feast your eyes on pages 70-78 of this week's Hello, not forgetting the front cover, and page 41, the contents page.
We must succeed.
He will be ours. The time is approaching Mr Clarke.
