Miss Watchever,
In my studies, I've concluded a few basic facts about the dwarven species. One of the principle ones I've noted is that the destruction of a short list of creatures - most relevantly, goblins - is nearly an art form in your culture. A great tribe of the wretched creatures has taken roost in Lower, and currently threatens to overrun the ward and push into Upper. Will your clan be of help in exterminating them? While I currently lack the finances to pay you for your services, the Council is offering a bounty. Should you help us effectively, a portion of that 5,000 crown bounty will be given to help your efforts to build a shelter.
As a show of my good faith, please accept these spirits for those who frequent your shelter as a demonstration of my noble spirit. I take my letter at the Pisser.
