Mr. and Mrs. Jones,

My name is Nathan Noxter. I am the main scientist of an organization called the MDP. We are contacting you in regards of your daughter, Verlena Rea Jones.

The MDP is a non-government, privately funded organization of scientists, doctors, and teachers that have dedicated their lives to the good of the people. What we do exactly is confidential and must be kept a secret.

To be as blunt as possible, the MDP needs the help your daughter can offer so that we may continue to help people all over the world. What we are asking is for you to allow your daughter to move into the dorms we have on the MDP campus and live here so she may contribute to our cause.

If you agree, she can bring two medium sized suitcases and a small duffel bag or purse full of personal items, clothing, toiletries, electronics and anything else. We ask that you do not allow your child to pack any types of weapons, drugs, or alcohol (prescription medication is the only exception).

If you do not agree, we will have no choice but to take her by force. If it comes to this, she will not be able to pack any bags or prepare for the move. If you choose to take this route, we suggest severing as many emotional ties with your child as you can. If you do not, the impact of the situation could affect your child in a very negative way.

One choice or the other, representatives from the MDP will be at your house to pick your daughter up in a week at the very soonest and four weeks at the very latest.

Presuming that you do not agree, our representatives will ask if you if you're sure about your decision three times. On the event that you change your mind, she then can take an hour to pack and prepare. If you remain persistent, we will act in force.

With the best regards,

Nathan Noxter
