Dear [Name],
I write with unfortunate tidings on the eve of the Daily Prophet article that will tell you the same: Hogwarts' Board of Governors has made the difficult decision to remove bludgers—and thus, beaters—from the house quidditch teams.
Undoubtedly you will have myriad feelings about this announcement; please know that it was made with the safety of all students in mind in the wake of the Quidditch World Cup tragedy, and that it goes above the head of even our Headmaster Black.
[Cad Only: Unfortunately, this means your captaincy has also come to an abrupt end.] Of course, you will be more than welcome to try out for any positions available on your house team when the school year resumes, and I should hope the team's captain will take your experience into account when judging your potential against that of your housemates.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Hamish Darrow
Deputy Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
