Can't swing by the market? Send your orders by mail, and I'll handle the rest. The desert waits for noone, and neither do I.

Stay sharp. Stay prepared. Until our next deal,
JAMBO

I hope this letter finds you still breathing and not buried under the weight of your troubles, the sands out here have a way of swallowing people whole, and I'm starting to wonder if that's what happened to your courier. It's been a stretch since I last heard from you, and the quiet is starting speak louder than any words could.

The coin I sent wasn't pocket change for me, and it's hanging heavy on my ledger. I'm starting to sweat the details, and the worry is creeping in like an ash-storm on the horizon.

Things don't sit right when folks go dark, making me wonder if the whole operation has gone sideways. I need to know if you're still in the game and if the help I sent you has actually made a change in the mess you're in. Drop me a line and let me know where things stand.

Waiting for your reply,
Jambo

Your message came through like a coyote's call in the dead of night - Sharp, lonely, and full of need. I've heard about your family, upstanding types who don't normally get caught up in this kind of mess, how they had it all before the bottom fell out. I know what it's like to be out here, clawing for a foothold in a world where the sun burns hot, and the nights cut cold.

I'm going to make arrangements for the money you asked for, sent through the same hands that brought me your letter. It's going to set me back, put me in some hot water even, but I'm willing to take that risk and play my cards, you just make sure that you play yours when the time is right, as out here, in this dust and heat, a person's word is all they've got, so don't make me regret it.

I hope this gets you out of your trouble and back on the trail. Just don't forget who helped you when the sands were shifting beneath your feet.

Stay sharp,
Jambo
