As a gesture of good will, and as it seemed one of you had a particular enthusiasm for this substance, I have been further instructed to send you this Barrel of Fine Eel Oil, which you may accept with our hopes for a more productive future. May it aid in the increase of the quintessence.

[A reeking barrel of old eel oil is left within the Palatial Pyramid]

As for the charges, I am obliged to inform you that they are non-negotiable and if left unpaid will begin to accrue interest and fees.
