[Uncle Jeff]

I fell like the slum dog milloinre guy here I know them all .. been waiting for my favorite .. the phrase missing the letter E

How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing is wrong with it at all, and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it, you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

Answer
The letter `e` , which is the most used letter in the alphabet, is missing from this paragraph.
