I will congratulate you, of course, for making the national team, but I think it is very unfair that they placed you on the second string! You are a talented chaser who has proved his talent and skill on Britain's Quidditch pitches. It saddens me that the Chuddley Cannons were overlooked entirelly for the formation of the first string. We may have lost our chance of taking the British cup, but we have proved time and again that we aren't a team to be messed with!

In any case, it is important for the second string to consist of talented players, seeing that those Quidditch games awaiting us are far more demanding than a Hogwarts match. I am sure that you will get to prove your talent on the pitch, when the time comes!

Yours,

Cecily Gallivan
