Dear Sir,
Your notable reputation as a potioneer precedes you. I have been led to believe you are able to supply an effective solution which disposes of a particular and inconvenient situation for a woman, should one arise. I am looking for something expedient and entirely discreet for a friend of mine.
It is a matter of some urgency, so I shall expect the most prompt response possible – and if you are able to assist in this matter, of course you may name your price.
The owl that accompanies this letter is aware of the return address.
Yours, —
