The letter arrives to Marc Donnelly by way of a stolen owl. The return address is left blank and the hand-writing, while admirable, is less than pristine.
- Dear Mr Marc Donnelly,
I hope your time since you were a guest of the Ministry of Magic has treated you well. Last we spoke you had been looking very pale. I recommend three squares daily and a massage when possible. Your health is important to me.
Marc, please make all haste to London. I have great need to confer with you about Remembering Day - I hope you have not already made plans for that week. I'm afraid my recent schedule has not allowed me the lead time we might normally need for the task I'd like to employ you.
I have you penciled in as "As Soon As Possible". I hope you are not allergic to Polyjuice Potion and that a sum of $50,000 galleons will be enough for your traveling expenses.
Kindest Regards,
Theodora Kingstreet
