Subject: RE: assessment questionnaire

Dear Mr. Malfoy,

Please find enclosed the filled out questionnaire. Be informed that I am presently not on speaking terms with Anakin Skywalker, these days known as Darth Vader who accidentally happens to be my father. Thus, I have up to now not been informed on my "application" to your little club, or whatever it is.

However, the questionnaire sounded really intriguing, covering a lot of subjects I am greatly interested in.

Up to now, I never yet practised any of the Dark Arts you described, but I am greatly interested in learning those skills you mention. Even though I haven't got the slightest idea what you mean with "torture, rape or similar leisure activities". I am spending most of my free time with two close friends, or, at least, I used to. Most recently they don't like me around too much as they seem to be involved in activities where a third person is quite superfluous. This leaves me pretty bored so I think that your little training camp will be a nice distraction.

Please let me know, if you have any additional questions, I'll be happy to answer them any time.

Kind regards,
Luke Skywalker
Deputy Commander-in-Chief
Rebel Alliance
Location Undisclosed

PS: Please note that I will not be available for training activities from September 27 to October 30 as we have scheduled our next strike against the Empire then.

PPS: Sorry to ask, but I'm just too curious: Does your e-mail address have anything to do with your outer appearance or your performance in - well - you know? If yes, could you send me a picture of you some time soon? I include one of myself here, just FYI. (I'm the guy on the left; the big hairy one is a friend of mine).

Dear Luke,

Sorry for the mix-up with e-mail addresses in my first message. I have a home office, you know, and sometimes I just forget to switch accounts. My boss gave me hell about that one, I tell you!

Thank you so much for the nice picture you sent me yesterday. I must say, you're quite good looking considering you ancestry. Who would have guessed that Old Metal Head produced such gorgeous offspring!

I am quite confident that you will be accepted to our training camp smoothly (as I am in charge of admissions, I'll see to that personally ;-) ) and I am looking forward (a lot!) to meeting you really soon.

Kind regards,
Lucius

PS: Enclosed please find a picture of myself. It was one of a series taken for "Playwitch" two years ago. I was elected Dark Wizard of the Month, back then. I can't wait to show you the complete set when we meet personally.

Dad,

I know that, officially, we're not talking but I still wanted to let you know that I have been legitimately accepted to Lord Voldemort's Death Eather Training Camp and I will start my education on November 1st.

Even though I was very angry with you for submitting an application without my knowledge and consent, I am now quite happy with the outcome of the whole thing.

Lucius, Mr. Malfoy that is, who is in charge of Training and Education sent me the curriculum yesterday and it looks very promising. I'm really excited and only wish that I could get there earlier. But, as you know, we have this blasted battle scheduled for October, so I can't possibly make it any sooner.

Anyhow, I think I am going to make some real friends at the camp and I want to thank you for your efforts concerning my career. It's nice to know, that someone cares.

Love, Luke

Subject: Oops

Um, Dad, you DID know about the battle in October, didn't you? If not, please don't tell anybody that you heard it from me, alright?

Pls. confirm.
Love, Luke
