Letter 10

Osmund Saddler to Ramon Salazar

25th August 2002 (from Madrid)

Dear Castellan Salazar

I am writing to tell you that I am delighted with the results of our meeting on the 22nd. I truly believe you have made the right choice and that our partnership will usher in a new wave of prosperity in your village.

To confirm, I will be arriving on the morning of the 30th with my entourage and supplies, to be housed in your castle, and livestock, to be provided to the farm. I will stay in the house down the path from Sr. Mendez, and will make an announcement with you in the village square at noon. Delegation of jobs for the opening of the mines and the running of farm will be carried out immediately, with work to start the following day. Upon confirmation of the organism's existence you will be paid the agreed sum.

I very much look forward to meeting you again and to beginning our partnership.

Yours sincerely,

Lord Saddler, Head of Los Illuminados.
