I was hoping that you might be able to help me recover a file that I
accidentally deleted.  I used rm, and there weren't any backups, so it
is permanently gone.  It was my .zwgc.desc file.  Maybe that doesn't sound
like a super-serious loss, but I had spent a lot of time working on it.
It was hours of effort to get it just the way I wanted it (and working in
harmony with everything else), and I just about died when I rm'ed it
accidentally.  Someone told me that you might be able to restore it, so
that is why I am writing.  Please could you help?  Molte grazie.

					Cordially,

P.S.  It won't happen again--I'm aliasing rm to delete right away.
