Dear NPC Name*,
[general pleasantries here]I am sorry that I will not be able to attend your birthday party. I was looking forward to it but that lady got kidnapped and other people are missing so my mother thinks Hogsmeade is too dangerous right now. I did want to send you this gift though. It is a really good book so I hope you enjoy it. It does not have that story I told you the last time I visited you because I made that one up. But these ones have a similar style.
Do let me know what you think!
Sincerely,
Lincoln Dashwood

*Owl was addressed to another child whose name is similar to 'Ludwig Minty'. Owl went "eh, close enough" and wouldn't leave until Ludwig wrote back and accepted the book of wizarding fairy tales.
