Mr. Hendurabi,

I'm sure this letter will come as a surprise to you, but as you well know, I would not waste the time, or parchment on you, were it not a matter of utmost importance. 

I was appraising an artifact (something I don't care to disclose in a letter) and there was a peculiar runic combination attached to it, something I haven't encountered before.  I hesitate to do much with it, at present, until it's identification is confirmed, but I strongly suspect, from research it is of Persian origins.

It certainly isn't British, and most assuredly not African.  I thought, perhaps, you might be more familiar with it. 

If you are available, I would be grateful if you could come to Gringotts and take a look.  Due to the sensitive nature of this case, I'd appreciate a personal consultation.

A speedy response would be greatly appreciated,

Josephine St. Just

Madam St. Just,

It is always a pleasure to hear from you.  I trust that this missive finds you in both good spirits and good health?

As always, your words are far too kind.  My knowledge of the world -- even the Persian world -- is meager, as you well know, and so such undeserved praise from one as well-traveled and worldly as yourself can only be taken as  well-meaning flattery.  I certainly wish to offer you what aid I can, but I fear that my simple abilities may not be worthy of your expectations.  As such, I must caution you to prepare yourself for disappointment.

While I recognize the urgency implicit in your request, I regret that I cannot be so easily summoned to London.  Perhaps you would care to come to Hogsmeade for a consultation instead?  Though I doubt that my abilities will prove sufficient, I would be happy to offer you what modest help I can.


Most respectfully yours,
Atash Hendurabi

Mr. Hendurabi,

I do hope England will treat you and your students well.  It's not treated me as kindly as I'd like - I much prefer the climate in Africa, but I don't suppose I have control over that.  I've read of the tournament, though I daresay, slightly different from the last my alma mater was engaged in, from what I've seen.  I hope your students are faring well in the English system, as different as it is from Durmstrang.

With that in mind, Hogsmeade is a reasonable location to meet for this particular meeting.  If you are unable to help, I will find others who might be more familiar with what I am looking for.  Until then, I will put my faith in your knowledge on the subject, no matter how meager it might be.

If you have a preferred date, please, write back at your earliest convenience and we will meet then.

Regards,

JSJ

Madam,

Perhaps Wednesday evening?  I look forward to seeing what assistance I can lend you then.

Most sincerely,
Atash Hendurabi
