From the desk of Michael IV
My dearest cousin:
It has been, by my count, nine years since you last set foot on Gramnonian soil. True, it has been five years since I last visited Brettaine, but it's your turn to get off your lazy duff and come visit. Lancaster is as beautiful as ever, and the weather has been just perfect lately. Bring the children, too -- we've got some yachting scheduled six weeks from now and I'm sure they'd find it to their liking.
Michael paused, tapping his chin with the pen and pondering whether he needed to add anything more. He signed the letter, and then remembered to add, "PS: BYO life preserver."
Chuckling, he slid the paper into a plastic tray marked OUT.
