[The following is written in an elegant script that suggests extensive practice and education]

Councilor Archibald,

You are understandably busy, so I'll keep this condensed. I would like to offer my support to your cause. From what I've little I've heard of you, you strike me as a capable member of the Council - someone who has the best interest of many at heart and who has the intellect to ensure that peace remains. It is my desire to see to it that order and influence are maintained within this settlement, and I'd like to offer you my talents in the pursuit of that goal.

Before finding myself in Sanctuary, I worked closely with a mercantile group in Cormyr. I am skilled in economic and political matters, and I am also an articulate public speaker.

An interview would be more appropriate than a letter. I shall await your reply.
