THE HOT LETTER ($250,000 – $280,000)

Abraham Lincoln was known for his calm, thoughtful demeanor, but he wasn’t naturally that way. He had a temper. And during the Civil War, he faced constant criticism and betrayal.

So, he created a private ritual.

Whenever someone infuriated him, be it a general who disobeyed orders, or a politician who attacked him, Lincoln would sit down and write a scathing letter.

He’d pour out his frustration, line by line. Then he’d fold the paper neatly and write on the envelope:

“Never signed. Never sent.”

And he’d set it aside in a drawer.

Dozens of these letters were found after his death – demonstrating his emotional discipline.

What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?

Nothing at all!
