Dear Mr Baggins,
I was concerned to hear of your current problems concerning the situation with the One Ring, and I would like to recommend that you consider leaving The Shire as soon as it is convenient. Rivendell has been recommended as one of many strategic centres which you may find to be of benefit to you in your current situation.
In the meantime you may also wish to contact Mr Strider at the Lean, Dark & Tall Agency as we have been very much engaged in joined-up working. Further details can be found on their website; to enter the password protected directory area of the site you will require the password “Aragorn“.
Finally I would like to reiterate our policy that Hobbits should desist from utilising One Rings due to the overwhelming evidence that they can have a deleterious effect upon the well-being of members of the public.
If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at the above address, and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours sincerely
Mr G the Grey.
