Dear Crosis,
Felkin has spoken very highly of you over the past year, and recently it has been brought to my attention that you are gifted in the art of magic. As for myself, I , though fairly knowledgable in the ways of magic, have noted from my recent studies into the substance of the Arcane, that my skills still leave much to be desired. Ergo, the art requires I begin apprenticeship to a mentor. I would be humbled and honored if you, one of the Evergreen Halflings, were to take me as a student. I know not how I would pay you, or with what I could; therefore, I can only say no price you can name is too high. The Art is my passion, and, in turn, any amount of gold or any service you would ask of me pales in comparrison. Please consider these matters henceforth and send me your reply.
Sincerely,
Bickimus Eeonikus Extroadius; Aspiring Arch-Magus
