To Whom it May Concern,

          Salutations. I am Esref Yildiz, a refugee to this Well. Recently, I had the displeasure to sit through a performance titled, "The Golden Dream," produced by the Fantasia Company on behalf of Prelate Argent of the Gold League. As an admirer of culture and an amateur playwright myself, my standards for impromptu theatre are low—both for personal enjoyment and to support local artists—however, I found this effort a remarkable disappointment. It wasn't a play, but an advertisement in long form for an upcoming election. What a disgusting affront to live theatre! 

          Still, this would be no concern of mine. Plenty of production houses suffer the whims of the parasites that dangle the purse strings. In my genuine desire for literary analysis, I spoke hastily, but in what I believed were neutral and fair terms regarding the degradation of artistic sensibility to monied interests. And in response, from the Prelate himself and those affiliated with Fantasia, I not only received personal slights, but professions that this work was some "masterpiece" of "creative brilliance," rather than the naked boastings of a self-important brat and his cronies.

          Now then, this is where your interests may be pricked. As a newcomer, I'm quite ignorant to the specifics of your local politics and request a meeting with someone wise to the goings-ons, particularly as toward this Prelate whom if I'm not mistaken is your enemy. Then I would pen—not produce, mind you, I'm not a director—my own play to demonstrate what proper genre conventions look like as well as what proper satire is. I would gift it to your office and if you find it worthy and have the time and creative passions, you may produce it as you desire, though I intend to retain writing credits. I reside at the Krak should you desire further correspondence or to schedule a meeting.

          With respect to your efforts and sincere in my word,

          Esref Yildiz
