I hope you'll excuse my writing you out of the blue — I realize this is a rather strange request and won't be at all offended if you see fit to simply ignore this letter, but as I am rather out of my depth here I thought it might be worth the attempt.

To make a long and convoluted story short, I have taken guardianship of a young woman who will soon be departing for Hogwarts. This young woman has had no positive female role models in her life and her interests are nontraditional for her sex, and the idea of going to school and being asked to give up everything she finds interesting in order to become a 'proper lady' has filled her with dread. I think it would benefit her greatly to see an example of how women such as yourself can make their own way in the world.

Which brings me to my request: would it be possible for me to bring this young woman to meet you? I understand, of course, that you must be very busy in preparations for the World Cup; if it is not possible to meet, a letter or word of advice might be just as well appreciated.

I understand this is a favor I have no right to ask, particularly as we are unacquainted, but thank you for taking the time to read. I hope you are inclined to at least consider my request.
