Dear Master Borsodi,
I write to you concerning a most atypical matter, but please do not dismiss it summarily, for both you and the institution you run are in great danger. Allow me to explain what I mean.
It so happens I am a renowned astrologist and teller of fortunes. In recent days, for evident reasons, I have been forced into hiding, but a small circle of loyal customers has been kept informed of my whereabouts. One of these customers is a lady of high birth - her name I shall not disclose out of discretion. Said lady came to me with a request: she wanted to learn what price certain items would sell for at an upcoming auction.
After voicing my many objections, I nevertheless relented to the lady's request - but before you take offense at this interference in your business, please read to the end, for the cards I laid out for this lady told me something very important.
The constellation of the cards clearly indicated a wolf shall appear at your doorstep and you shall not let him enter, but he shall nevertheless find a way inside. He shall enter your house, then take your house from you. I saw a tower struck by lightning and blood drinking blood. I believe you are extremely aware what that signifies, am I not right?
As fair reward for this warning, please hand a sum of two thousand crowns to the man delivering this message.
My sincerest respects,
Master Matthew
