Subjuct: Your ex-wife Sherry
Officer McDonald, please forgive this intrusion into your personal life. I found this email address on your police department's website.
From 2002 until 2011, my husband and I lived in Larchmont, NY. At my request, we left in July 2011 to move back to my childhood home in Minneapolis. There were career reasons for my husband to move, but among the reasons I asked my husband to make it happen was that he was working with your ex-wife Sherry. I don't know the nature of your relationship now (That's the reason for this note), so please forgive me if this offends you. But, sir, Sherry creeped me out. I found her to be very clingy to my husband, and while I had no doubt of my ability to handle her if she crossed lines with him, I didn't want things to come to that between her and my husband, or between her and me.
About a month ago, Sherry sent a "wanna fuck?" email to my husband. Since then, Sherry and her sister Reina have had at least 3 run-in's with my sister Bryanne and myself. My husband briefly filed divorce papers over the whole situation; and, yes, Sherry got his claws into him and tricked him into bed. But he has gradually seeing Sherry for who and what she is, and is prepared Monday to call a halt to the divorce.
Officer McDonald, this is where you come in. If you are still reading this, I apologize for dragging you into my husband and my "issues". But we have reason to believe that Sherry is seeking to establish roots here in the Minneapolis area, or at least considering it. We therefore need paperwork to justify a restraining order on her once my husband halts the divorce next Monday.
For example, when Sherry approached my husband, she made representations that her recent divorce from you was amicable, that you and her went through mediation and were civil with each other, and that she received a settlement from you that left her financially comfortable in the short- and long-term. Forgive me for prying, sir, but is that depiction she provided accurate.
I've already borrowed more of your time than I should.
Thank you for listening,
Sheila Wash______
Minneapolis, MN

Mrs Wash______: When I divorced Sherry, I fully expected someday to receive a note like the one you sent me earlier today. I apologize to hear that you and your husband are the two people who Sherry elected to get involved with, and please tell your lawyers on Monday that I will be happy to cooperate however I can to get Sherry out of your lives, and you may bring this note to your lawyers if you wish.
No, my relationship with Sherry is not good, so no I am not offended by any description you have given her. In late 2016, I discovered that for years, Sherry had been posting on Craigslist invitations to anonymous sex to any man who would meet her at x o'clock on y day in the, say, greeting card department of z store. She would then demand money for sex or whatever--once men get a look at her, they couldn't resist following thru. She would still be doing that today, I'm afraid, except an officer from a neighboring department answered the ad one day, and told my department, and me what she had been doing.
It gets worse. The money was fueling an addictive habit in buying lottery tickets by both Sherry and Reina. Over the years, the two of them had accumulated tens of thousands of dollars of gambling debt, laundering the losses thru credit card advances and, when necessary to keep up appearances to me, the cash generated by her Craiglist sex business.
Yes, Sherry and I went thru mediation. Want to know the two reasons why? First, there were no material marital assets left for us to fight over. And second, she couldn't afford an attorney.
Please, please, please tell your husband: stay away from this woman. Is she trying to establish herself in Minneapolis--yes! She has no doubt burned her bridges here--everyone is onto her game here. And if the underlying lottery ticket addiction hasn't been treated, she will take whatever money she can lay her hands on however she can.
Like I said, best of luck getting this woman out of your life. Tell your lawyer I will do what I can to help.
Office McDonald

I know it's late on a Saturday night, but this isn't a drunk text (nor a drunk email--did that make you laugh?).
I know things got crazy between us this morning, but my sister made me do that. Has your sister ever made you do something you didn't want to?
I miss Skyping with you. Can we do that again, without our sisters around?
I liked how we came during our fight this morning. Scratch that, I loved it. I know you laughed when I told you about being "straight--except for that one time in college", but that wasn't meant as a joke.
Every so often, I think about another girl "that way". You're one of those girls.
I felt something with you this morning. I felt it this week on Skype.
Did you feel it, too?
Please tell me,
Reina
