Letter to the Blackwood Marauders
To the Blackwood Marauder chiefs,
I write to confirm the terms of our discreet arrangement, which we have discussed at length. To ensure the safety and stability of our town, I have decided to accept your proposal for a temporary alliance.
As agreed upon, you and your associates will be allowed to conduct your operations within the region, provided that you do so with discretion and avoid drawing unnecessary attention to yourselves. In return for my assurances that the town guard will remain unaware of your presence, I shall receive a share of 30% from the spoils of your endeavors as compensation for the risks I am taking.
It is of the utmost importance that our alliance remains a closely guarded secret. Should this information become public knowledge, the consequences would be dire for both of us. I urge you to burn this letter once you have read and understood its contents. I hope our partnership proves to be mutually beneficial and that we can maintain this delicate balance for as long as necessary.
