Mystic Message

Spam Sade, the world famous gun shoes, was snoozing at his desk late in the afternoon of December 23.

Suddenly, his secretary Laverne La Veen burst through his office door.

“Spam, the messenger boy just delivered this telegram. I can’t make heads or tails of it. I think it’s in code or something.”

“Let me take look at it,” yawned Spam groggily.

Spam glanced at the Western Union.

The telegram read “abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz” and was signed “zyxwvutsrqponmkjihgfedcba.”

Spam smiled cryptically and said, “Call Western Union and send this reply,”

“Ditto” and sign it “Your loving brother.”

What was the message?
