Honored Mayor,
I seek immediate audience with you regarding the important matter of the survival of everyone in the city, and the fulfilling of their collective dream.
I am unsure of my status in the city, however, and thus write you now asking for leave to enter and speak with you. You've my word this will not be an assassination attempt; you may choose the time and place yourself, and I shall forgo the comfort of my weaponry and any other devices you wish me to leave behind.
Pyotr Ignatiev
