To the honourable Msr. Loiuse de Lettres,
Regimental Clerk, QOC
Sir, I have just heard the sad and terrible news of
the death of that brave hero and defender of France, the most highly esteemed
Lieutenant Colonel France en Pense (RIP), an event that I am sure has left the
entire regiment in shock and trauma. I would be
most grateful if you could supply me with the address of any remaining family,
in order that I might send my condolences directly to them. Thank
you.
Your obedient servant
Captain Henri Serf-Edly (HSE), Grand Duke Max
Dragoons
P.S. Please excuse this enquiry concerning the will
of our newly departed friend. Without wishing to appear tasteless in any way by
raising this issue so soon after the Lieutenant Colonel's death, I am led to
believe that the gracious hero left some small pecuniary gift to myself.
However, rumours abound that the legality of this testament might be contested!
I myself find it hard to conceive how anyone might pursue such actions, surely
contrary to the last desires of one of France's leading military heroes. I would
respectfully ask that you defend the Lieutenant Colonel's dying wishes with
maximum effort, and see that his money is disposed of according to his final
directives. Thank you.
