Esteemed Private,

I noted your advertisement on the bulletin board with much interest, and have decided to offer my skills in research to you, provided you can elaborate somewhat on what is required.

Please feel free to write to me privately with any further details that you can offer which will shed light on the task at hand.

I anxiously count the ticks to your reply,

Cog Ippensher Gondsman and Inventor.

Regrettably, the position has been filled. I'll inform you should anything else come up.

Private Greyward
