The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has today issued a general solicitation and public procurement request to all owners of magical and muggle water craft.  The ministry is seeking a suitable vessel for an innovative underwater search of the lake.  Spells developed by the Committee on Experimental Charms will enable the vessel to sail safely under the water and allow the specialists to conduct a thorough and unanticipated deep water search of the lake.  It is hoped that this search will also facilitate the recovery of the bodies of Mister Andrew and William Makepeace and their deckhand Arthur.

A team of Aurors, Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures specialists and mazi-zoologists will depart on their dangerous mission within the fortnight. Mister Murdock Greyback, Head the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has stated that 'this team has been handpicked to investigate this very real danger to our community, until such time as the team returns from their mission, we warn all members of the community to avoid the lake banks and foreshore until the danger has passed.'

Any vessel owners with an interest in the contract should contact Mister Murdock Greyback, Head the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.  Additionally, any freelance individuals or specialists who believe they have a professional interest in the venture are also invited to submit their letters of interest to Mister Greyback.

It will be a busy week for the DRCMC and DMLE who are also preparing a verdict in the case of the marriage license for Lord Phillip Darlington and Miss Acacia Ruskin.
