Irene
Been out of my radar for too long, have we? Well, I must say that your criminal intents have kept me busy. Did you enjoy your time in Asia? Stealing off of the Prince's again, may not have been the best way to go about your business. I wonder why on earth you are back in London. After all there are plenty of other royals around the world that you could blackmail. It is not my duty to congratulate you on your criminal ways though i would have done if these were our teenage years. Then again, it may be fair to say that you may have changed your ways
Well, we know that's a lie. I am writing to you, not because my computer is broken – to which it is, but let us not get into that – rather that you can destroy the evidence. I am begging you to get out of London. Lestrade knows you're here and albeit under a false name, he will track you down. Unlike the days of jack the Ripper (to which I solved the case by the way) you can't simply disappear. I am wiring you money from my own account to get you out safely. Do not speak to anyone, do not contact anyone – especially me. The police, though dull and positively stupid will catch on.
The money I send to you must not be used for anything else but to get you out of the country. I needn't remind you that you are charged with criminal assault and intent to create riot like you tried up in Glasgow.
I have been fair. But I warn you Irene. I am not the man you once knew. I have changed, hopefully for the better. If you try my patience then I will let them catch you and lock you up. I will not be gracious in my revenge. You destroyed me in ways I could never imagine and though I was foolish I have grown and realised the errors of your ways and mine.
Do not take this opportunity for granted. The offer closes in 24 hours.
You have my love, and my respect.
Sherlock.
