Dear John

For four years, London-based Aussie Richard Berry wrote a letter each week to the Australian prime minister. He posted them to both John Howard and to TNT Magazine, which decided to publish them each Monday. Richard was a long way from home and believed that just because a bloke was a prime minister, it didn't mean he couldn't be your mate. Collated here are 44 of his best letters, including the replies he's received from Canberra.
