Dear England

With surprise and disappointment we take notice of your recent decision to cancel your membership in the European Union. As we have to realize now, one of the reasons - if not the most important one - was your growing dismay about too much non-English company.
It is true that a number of us European foreigners moved to your hospitable country during the last decade or so, and it might also be so that not too few of us did not behave as good old English customs would have required.
You should have told us earlier. We are deeply embarrassed of having misused your generous patience for all too long. We apologize for our rude misbehaviour.
Dear England! Please, do not leave the European Union! We need you as one of the most important representative of European identity. Rather, we would be ready to leave your country, if this is your urgent wish. We will do so for good, without the necessity to force us.
It is sufficient to ask, and we will do you this favour. There is no need for you to leave the Union. We will close our households and return to our home countries or move to another place where our expertise and energy are welcome.
Please stay an integral part of us, and if you prefer to sell your products to a market with customers you'd better not get into all-too-close personal contact, be welcome as a somewhat detached but nevertheless highly esteemed company.
The non-English Europeans
