re [MR] A minor missive

[Nicholas S. Malone]

Hmm  Pretty stones and Glass beads, It seems I remember have some such
things around somewhere.  Do you think she might be interested in Sapphires
or emeralds or rubies?  How would one measure such things: in cups or
pounds?  All of my riches would be as smoke compared to the duty to educate
the heathen ignorance of this fine and fair land.  I look forward to
pursuing another business relations ship with the Most wise and puissant
Ramses TRG. And not to descend to common dickering or competing offers, but
I have heard word that Shemp the Mighty may well be in this neighborhood
during the time of conflict.  Of course I have plenty of hospitality and
food and loot for all who answer the call to arms.

Forwarded by request for Sir Ramses the Reasonably Good
Greeting Unto the Noble Baron and Baroness of Caer Maer, Good fortune and
profit unto the most Humble Ashahito, and peace and prosperity upon the
populace of fair Caer Maer. 

Friends, news of your dire upcoming war has quickly spread.  DOOM will
surely stalk the land as steadily as the hawk stalks the dove, for a long
drawn out war in the fall will leave all unprepared to face the bitter
winter.  From the lowliest commoner in his hut, to the lords in their halls,
even upon those wearing the coronets will famine and pestilence fall if the
battle is not quick and decisive.  Peasants will not be able to collect the
wood to warm your halls, or prepare the breads, spin the thread to make the
warm cloaks or tend the flocks.  Wolves will run rampant through the once
fertile lands of Caer Maer if this matter cannot be settled in one day.

Thus do we announce that for this momentous event will come (at great
personal expense), with his war band, Sir Ramses the Reasonably Good
(tm)(world famous in Poland).  At his side will be the most illustrious
Mistress Nefret to provide a firm guiding hand.  Mistress Nefret, the light
of Egypt, such a jewel so rarely seen.  Driving his chariot and bearing his
shield will be his warrior Kenraki, he of the feared mystical order of the
orange hooded mumblers. Sir Ramses TRG (tm) will ensure that peace will be
quick in coming, that the battle be fierce yet short, so that DOOM does not
prey upon the peoples of Caer Maer.  Sir Ramses TRG (tm) shall provide a
quick sword, a sharp spear, loyal service (within the limits of the
contract) and mighty warriors to help the winning side.

Alas, in order for Sir Ramses TRG (tm) to cover his travel expenses, both
from and to Egypt and Misress Nefrets shopping costs, both from and to
Egypt, contracts must be established for his services.

The most Humble Ashahito has dealt with Sir Ramses TRG (tm) in the past and
understands well the personal sacrifice Sir Ramses TRG (tm) undertakes in
such travels.  This will give him the possible edge in negotiations but the
Baron and Baroness should not let worry worm its way into their hearts, for
Sir Ramses TRG (tm) is a fair and honorable man (within the limits of the
contract) and will listen to all offers, counter offers, counter counter
offers, etc., made with an open heart/mind/pocket book. It would also do
those who would make bids for Sir Ramses TRG (tm) services to keep in mind
that Mistress Nefret is fond of pretty stones, glass beads, and other
womanly baubles.  

Do Not Let DOOM Stalk The Land!  Contract early, bid high, bring peace
through superior (within the limits of the contract) mercenaries!!!

"Hi, My name is Sir Ramses the Reasonably Good.  I approved this message."
