writing a book is like walking over coals

example template: 

People of [% planet %], your attention please. 

This is [% captain %] of the
Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council.  
   
As you will no doubt be aware, the plans 
for development of the outlying regions
of the Galaxy require the building of a 
hyperspatial express route through your 
star system, and regrettably your planet
is one of those scheduled for destruction.
   
The process will take slightly less than
[% time %].
   
Thank you.
