Dear Ms. (Name),
We are delighted to inform you that you have been accepted as a student in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality. I am sure that you and your dear parents know what to expect when you graduate: a fine, young lady of qualitay, as I always say.
Here, you young dear will be taught the finest art of etiquette. And of course, how to finish everything, and everyone as needed. But let me warn you, the school, is not what you quite expect deary, it is housed in a massive airship that looks like three dirigibles crammed together; Your soon to be teachers do not always remain in human form; Finally, students at the lady's seminary learn the finer arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, you will also learn another kind of finishing: death, diversion, deceit, modern weaponries, and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course. You must navigate both the decorous and deadly arts needed to become a demure female assassin. What a rousing first year's education this is going to be! Don't you agree?
Of course, one will ask--'What about fine young men? Certainly we have to marry when we finish.' Well, Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality has a sibling school, and that is, Bunson and Lacroix's Boys Polytechnique School.
Now, since you have read enough, there is no time to waste! Pack up your petticoats and hat boxes, for a carriage awaits you outside. We would not let a new pupil go on her own, you silly biscuit.
Welcome to Finishing School.
--Mademoiselle Geraldine

I just really loved the idea of this, and wanted to test the waters. It won't really follow the book, only the idea and setting. Should this continue?
