I hope this letter finds you well, sir. If memory serves me correctly, you are in the midst of preparing to send out quite a few letters, so please don't hasten to respond should you need to prioritize. My name is Louisa Clearwater; I doubt you would remember me, but I was a Gryffindor prefect and my sisters, Gertrude and Heather were your Hufflepuff students a couple years my senior. They always spoke highly of you as their Head of House.

I write to inquire about an open position whose vacancy has reached my ears: The position of the Matron of Gryffindor House. As I understand it, of course having been a former Gryffindor is obligatory, but I wish to ask of any other requirements that the position might require.
