Dear Mr Annwyl,

I dearly hope that you will pardon this unsolicited epistle and take some time to consider my message.  I'm sure you'll agree that the appointment of the recently misplaced Gawain Robards's successor is of the highest priority.  In order to ensure that the Ministry of Magic takes steps towards removing itself from the rotting quagmire of ineptitude it currently enjoys, I find it necessary to offer my counsel.  I have extensive experience in the running, operation and expectations of The Department of Magical Law Enforcement.  I worked for that department for twenty-two years and you'll have to agree that my record was exemplary and my contribution absolutely compulsory to its high reputation at that time. 

And so, Mr. Annwyl, please consider this my letter of recommendation that Madam Tamis Raynor be appointed as Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement post haste.  In my years at the Ministry of Magic I had the opportunity to work with Madam Raynor and since my departure from the Ministry's employ have continued to observe her work.  And under even the most incapable, bumbling fools she'd had to suffer as bosses, she has excelled. 

Madam Raynor is exceptionally tidy and takes up nearly no space.  Her small stature is efficient and I think a Healer examination will show she's in top condition with no superfluous or vestigial body parts or habits. 

She has a natural inclination towards immaculate penmanship and I have no doubt she has nurtured this talent over the years.  This has undoubtedly not escaped your notice.  I have had the pleasure of observing her signature within the last year four times and it's consistency and complexity leaves nothing lacking.  She will make a fine administrator for this and her other outstanding qualities.

I sincerely hope that you not hold Madam Raynor responsible for Level Two's recent embarrassments.  All the information I have access too (and you'd be further embarassed to know exactly how much information that is) points to the failure of her superiors and undertrained, brutish underling Aurors.   I feel quite confident that should you appoint her as Head of the Department you could expect to see a full turn-around in the effectiveness of your Department.

In closing, I'd like to make a personal plea for her appointment: 

When, in the near future on a date to be determined, that I rise to your position and replace you after you have been assassinated, I should not tolerate anyone inferior to Tamis Raynor as my employee.  She meets my exacting standards for this position and I'd be forever grateful if you could quickly appoint her so she has time to establish herself and get settled before I arrive.  There's a lot of cleaning up after to do, and you know how I abhore a mess.

Kindest Regards,

Theodora L. Kingstreet
