The Elusive 'E'

When I visited Village Games on Wednesday I was given this puzzle called The Elusive 'E':

On the off chance, has anyone seen this puzzle before? You need to assemble the three pieces to form a capital letter 'E', and I cannot find the solution for the life of me. I have made a few things that kind of resemble an 'E', but I'm not convinced that they are correct.
Any ideas?

Do you really want the answer?
use the pieces to form the shadow of the letter

can you stand the pieces on end and look down or at an odd angle ?
- just guessing, I have no idea

Sadly pretty obvious, just from looking at the pieces and seeing their angles going both direction just wouldn't make a normal 'E'.

Well, needless to say I feel like a bit of a plum after Saturday.
I'm sure I won't be hearing the end of this one.
