 		[Pixel Set] Red #28 - Laundered
No scanner, but picture isn't needed.

Text reads:

I was enjoying lunch at the Academy before my afternoon presentation when a clumsy waiter spilled half a bowl of soup over me. I hadn't time to go back home so I'd little choice but to use the Academy launderette. Luckily there was a spare machine so I popped my shirt in and ducked out to let the course organiser know I'd be a few minutes late. When I got back I found a note on the machine and an annoying surprise...

PICTURE OF MAN HOLDING A PINK SHIRT UP (I guess someone forgot about their red sock!)

Who was responsible for ruining my shirt?

Coded note on bottom right of card:

Reversing all the words gives:
HI GARNET
I WAS IN A RUSH AND ALL THE MACHINES WERE BUSY SO I BORROWED YOURS
HOPE YOU DONT MIND
TIPS
PS SOMEONE LEFT A MASSAGE FOR YOU AT THE OFFICE THINK IT WAS KURT

So it was Tippy that did the aweful deed.
(And I hope that the first 'A' is 'MASSAGE' is actually an 'E', otherwise the CRT offices might be a bit of a different place than I first imagined Wink )
