Dear Blanchard,
If you would like to provide me with your FIRST NAME, that would be lovely. I rather need it while people are running background checks on you and being hired by you and, oh yes, trying to kill you and things. Pearlman was very forthcoming with *hers*, and she's the hard-bitten detective here! You're the sexy yet mysterious client. Even if you're not very mysterious, and Rosa isn't interested in women, sorry. But I digress. You need a first name! I know you have one! TELL ME WHAT IT IS!
Yours,
an irate writer who's no good at noir anyway, why does she bother
