In the above sentence the letter "E" represents a certain digit.
Other letters replace other digits, distinct from the digit assigned to E, but not as one-to-one function.

1. Find a solution (not necessarily mine).

Bonus
2. Devise a sentence that is more sensible or relevant for the above multiplication sample, but retains the value held by the letter "E"{or a corresponding letter in your solution} in same positions as in my original text.

(In reply to re(4): B O N U S Question by Steve Herman)

A good try, yet you have 'i' representing two different digits (represented alphametically in the puzzle as 'u' and 'a'), as opposed to a digit being represented by one or more letters.
It was my interpretation that each alphametic letter corresponds to only one digit, though more than one letter may represent the same digit (but, of course, for the digit represented by 'e' in the original alphametic).
