Dear Dr Bamford，

I know you are a famous scientist who has done great work on cloning animals，Please excuse me for writing to you，but I need your help.Let me explain.

I am a 58-year-old man. I'm very rich. I live in a large house. My wife died three years ago; we didn't have children.

So,am I lonely No,because Cindy is with me.Every night we eat dinner together and watch TV.Cindy sits beside me and I feel very happy.I’m fascinated (着迷的) with her beautiful green eyes.She’s also very smart.Sometimes she thinks only about herself.But that’s what I like about her.She is quite a beautiful Siamese cat.There is no other cat like her in the whole world.

These days I worry about losing Cindy.She is getting older and older.Cats don’t live so long as humans,of course,so she will die before I do.I cannot imagine my life without Cindy.

Well,why not get another cat after Cindy dies?Impossible!No other cat ever replace(替代)her.I have been thinking about this:Clone Cindy.Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals.

I have been thinking about this: Clone Cindy. Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals.They should be able to clone cats without much difficulty. Luckily, I am a rich man. I don't care how much money I will spend cloning Cindy. I think it’s Ok to clone pets. It's not cloning humans.

What do you think? Could you clone Cindy?Looking forward to your early reply.
