Directed to the McBoid Clan:

I am writing to inform you gentlemen that a relative of yours, one Iona McBoid, has been discovered in relevance to a recent investigation. If you wish to get in touch with her please write back as soon as possible, and a meeting will be arranged. However, the department cannot guarantee her attendance as she currently resides in another being, as a pentral.

Further information will be provided if necessary. I am terribly sorry for your loss. A similar invitation has been extended to Iona's father and mother.


Sincerely,

Solomon Carstairs
Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement

A letter addressed to Solomon Carstairs arrives later that day around 2 p.m. The paper looks older but is otherwise plain.

From: Duncan & Angus McBoid of the McBoid Farm, Edinburgh. Scotland.

Mr. Carstairs:

My brother and I wish to convey our appreciation on receiving your notice on the misfortune of our late cousin.

A meeting is most desirable, if possible, at your earliest convenience. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to prepare before hand for the ease of all parties.

Iona's father, Donnan McBoid, will be arriving with us.

Regards,

Duncan McBoid
